200q brake hose options

[Tom Werner]

After losing all the brake fluid out of my 200q this weekend due to a rusty 
brake line rupturing (see It's a Gusher!!"), I am thinking that now may be 
an opportune time to replace my brake hoses.

Rears (215 mm, male and female ends) are no problem at $12 each.  But the 
fronts, (250 mm, 2 female ends) are over $40 each.  The question is, is 
there a hose combination, including a male to male adapter since most hoses 
have one male and one female end, that I can use as a substitute for the 
front setup?

I know that on my 80q, I used front lines on the rear, saving $20 or so per 
hose, with no ill effects.

Thanks,

Tom Werner
