Source for Stainless Steel braided brake lines

[tpfeffer]

My 1983 R100RS has stainless steel braided front brake lines. I noticed yesterday that one of the aluminum ferrules is cracked that attaches the braided brake line to the metal tubing that connects to the calipher. I am glad I caught it because it would certainly have ruined my day if that ferrule popped off during hard braking.

 

Bottom line is that I need to replace one line. They were on the bike when I bought it used. The existing are 12 inches long and have a female threaded connection on each end. From recollection, the female thread is about 10 mm dia x 1.0 mm pitch. The existing ferrules are annodized red. Any good sources for such lines?

 

Options are to replace both sides either with SS or back to the OEM rubber hose.

 

Any suggestions?

 

Thanks
