Bob,

 On 02/16/91 I purchased a Rear flex brake line for $12.81 from 
BAP Geon.  Their part number was 250 25-64006.  It is supposedly
a Lucas 3700625 or GHP-1 on Morgans from 59 to 66.  It was also
used the Healey 3000 rear from 59 to 68.  This is supposedly the
same as a front caliper flex line from a '65 MGB for about $13.


The front caliper flex brake line is a Lucas 74047408 or GHP-71.
I haven't found a source.  But since the calipers were used on the
Healey 3000 rear from 59 to 63, you might try:

        Healey Surgeons Inc.
        7211 Carroll Ave.
        Tokoma Park, Md. 20912  
            (301) 270-8811

They also have the caliper rebuild kits HYD 017 for $30.  It does
both calipers and they have the caliper pistons @ $32 ea.
