Yes, Teddy, htose look right. Although I personally prefer to order them
pre-fabbed from Earl's Indy. Last time around I ordered them from
Saummit, and they cost me $60 for the set of 4. Just remeber to add 1"
to the lenght, coz the SS lines do not stretch unlike the OEM ones. They
break strands if overextended. I once caught my RR line ready burst
open. Scary.

I'd go with what Kirby's suggested.
