Frank,Bob,List,
I have a set of brake lines on my 73B in stainless
steel from Classic Tube and Line.
They are a bit pricey, but they fit perfectly-
even the one that snakes around the crossmember.
Best of all, they wont rust. They also offer
clutch lines in stainless for the B.
I am using slicone fluid and one of the flares
weeped fluid for a while. Classic offered to send
me a replacement for free. John Twist suggested
that I TIGHTEN it down and it seeems to have sealed.
Also, someone mentioned that MG brakelines should
be doubleflared; not to sure about that. Most
british lines I've seen have ISO or bubble flares
on them (pardon the cheesy ascii art):
