Brake line fittings

I have a way of recreating all of the original brake lines with flares for my '79 MKIV Mini 1000 Saloon. I will be making new lines for each wheel along with the lines on the front/rear subframes & the main line.

I am looking for a complete set of fittings. Do these have to be bought individually or is there such a thing as a complete set of all required fittings?

What recommendations do you have in terms of where to get fittings - a few local auto shops have not been very successful - especially for the longer length fittings.

far and away the cheapest place to get brake pipes and fittings - even though they are in the UK it is still waaaaaay cheaper than Mini Mania and the like

the fittings are listed as tube nuts on their sites, shoot them an email and they can probably tell you how many of each nut you'll need

they also have a complete set of brake pipes that is likely cheaper than anything you could find this side of the pond

oh yea and their shipping charges are very reasonable and my order came the next day!

they are also very cheap for a lot of other parts

check out their billet parts, so nice pieces in there:
like their subframe trunnions - 34 Pound for all 4 vs $60 each at Mini Mania

awesome site and great service
