I just used lengths of brake tubing from my local auto parts store.

You remove one flare, then remove the US spec fittings, run one UK spec 
fitting to the remaining flare end, bend the tube to shape, cut it to 
fit, slide a second UK fitting on and make a new flare.  No big deal.

Last time I needed some a company called Rovers North carried new UK 
spec brake tube fittings and I got my flare making tool from Eastwood.

Instead of a universal fit line that is usually a little too long and 
comes coiled you get a straight line that you add the bends to and you 
cut it to the correct length.  Everything looks much neater afterwords

Piece O cake!  Just don't use US fittings to mate to UK fittings.
