those are the OMP lines and do go very brittle. Do not use any old tubing as it will go soft with the heat. I replaced mine with braided hose.

I may have some of the braided stuff left but you will need to have your old banjo\'s and you will also need a bit of heat to weld them to banjo union (just gives a better seal for the plastic. You will also need your old clamps,they are important.

I will see what I have and cost,but it will not be much.
