Paul,

 Being that straight  forward would definitely defeat the purpose, now wouldn't it? It is not what you say, but how you say it:  I would try "I need custom  brake lines for an off road-RV" certainly wouldn't even be  considered lying...

Don,  

  

 How about the fittings are they standard AN4  fittings that would be compatible to our fittings?    You have the hoses in your shop, do they fit okay on the brake fittings?   Do you think it would be a good place to order our brake hoses through and how  was their service and turn around time?

  

  Do you have a link to the shop you are  working with?

Jim,

 To make your own brake hoses is really no big  deal.  ANY fitting that says 'AN' is an acceptable fitting.  'AN' is a  standardized mil-spec terminology= ArmyNavy.  Any auto shop can make you  brake lines.  As mentioned - you must use 45 degree flaring tools -not  automotive 37 degree.  If it is 'AN' fitting, it is 45 degree.  Go to  www.summitracing.com or www.jegs.com and they have pages upon pages of  fittings and different types of hoses.  It took me about 2 hours to make  mine.  The hardest part is figuring out the length that you need.   Steel braided Stratoflex hose is by far the superior type of hose.  You can  find Aeroquip fittings at those two sites as well.  I prefer Russell.   Same fittings, less $.  Of course you only have to worry about flaring with  hard lines-not hoses.  And to answer your next question-yes, they have  fittings that are combinations AN/NPT to fit your parking brake  or reservoir.

 Hope that this helped,

 Mike H  9A/8A

 ===================================

  

 Actually he's got it exactly backwards, so please don't believe this  information.

  

 Standard brass fittings at the hardware store and most other similar  commercial fittings are 45 degree and aircraft (AN) is 37 degrees.  Do  not mix up the applications or the tooling.  Many of the new racing  applications have adopted the aircraft standard.

Sorry to disagree BUT "AN" fittings are 37 degree NOT 45. Go to the www.jegs.com sited below and read what it says about the 37 degree flairing tool Jegs# 80084. 45 degree flare is used in plumbing, heating & A/C lines. Hot rod & racing use 37 degree because of aviation fitting availabilty.

Mea Coupa - I got it backwards.  You are correct. Thanks for the correction.
