I bought 3 sets recently from  my local NAPA store. You can also get them from Inline Tube, in  Shelby Township, Michigan. Either place will have them for silicone fluid.

napa does not have them

inline tube does not list them either

Try ebay. There are a number of vendors:

Looks like I'll have to do some research for you guys.

How are you gonna know if some eBay character is selling hoses that will be compatible with silicone fluid, if that's what you're planning on using?

If Inline isn't making them (and I'm surprised) I'll have to take a new set to them and let them see if they want to copy them.

Some time ago, I bought a few sets of Wagner-Lockheed lines. I won't use them with Silicone, and that's what's going in all of my cars.

Just to let you guys know I'm on my third set of hoses from that very cheap source on eBay selling them from Argentina. They are perfectly compatible with Silicon as I use Silicon in all my cars. I fitted the first set of hose on my 37 Buick 7 years ago and their still doing fine, the last set went on  my 37 Cadillac 3 years back, fitted 4 sets in between and I keep a set for spares. I was a little concerned years ago about stuff from a country I know so little about, you just dont expect old car stuff to be sold from down there, but I have to tell you the service from 'brake-hoses' was first rate.
Just my experience.

HOW ABOUT KANTER? I HATE THE BIG INSURANCE AND INFLATED SHIPPING CHARGES SOME CHARGE

This particular vendor states his hoses are made in America and gives all of the specifications

They are not the cheapest and you have to pay shipping but if they are what you are looking for and live up to the claims they would be a better value than the S. American manufacturer or from a supplier whose source is unknown.
