Jim, I've been making my own lines from Earls brake fittings for the
past four years with great results.  I'm just now replacing them, but
this time I'm using the black plastic coated XRP SS -3 line. The
coating keeps all the grit out of the mesh liner, which is nice. 
Don't buy the GPR lines, you'll be lucky to get the right lengths and
fitings the first time.
