Any self respecting brake shop should be able to make you up some while you wait.

I have a couple of sets sitting right here if you're keen, can get axle to caliper ones done too if your interested in those as well. $90 each + freight.

he has generic listings, you email him and let him know specific make & model etc.
when i looked, he had by far the best price for all lines on my GU

Yes should have mentioned that too, if you are breaking them there is something seriously wrong.

Your standard ones are breaking because you need longer ones for your lift and travel.

the inner lines are splitting for some reason. maybe just from age. not sure how long they have been on the car. im only having trouble with the lines from the diff to the caliper so i can't be a big lift issue.
anyways it's all sorted now. got some braided lines made from a guy at caboolture. did i top job and was pretty cheap too.
thanks for all the advice

Ahhhhh -
those brake lines!
They weren't twisted after being taken off at any stage were they? The number of twisted caliper lines i've seen..... easy mistake though.
