Eric,
I bought a set of prebent tubes from these folks
in polished stainless steel for my B. They fit
perfectly.
I had one line that would not seal properly (the
fitting kept weeping- about a drop or two every few
days). It was replaced free and I have been satisfied
ever since.
Although the catalog doesn't offer it, they will make
up the clutch line for a B in stainless for about $25.
