When I did my Lotus, I bought a British brake-tubing kit from Seven in
Virginia(?). I believe the same kit is available from just about all the
British suppliers. There is a coil of tubing and a gizmo you can place in your
vise and use to make all the single or double flares to British specs. I used
the supplied tubing and also regular USA tubing I picked up at the local parts
store.
(By-the-way, Rob, if you are reading, I just remembered that the Lotus supplier
in England made a mistake and send me metric instead of English parts for the
left front brakes. I made them work. Sorry about that.)
I don't see why this wouldn't work out for a Triumph as well as a Lotus.
