Hey Roger --
I don't know how much experience you have cutting, bending and
flaring brake lines -- but having tried making my own lines a couple
times, I'd suggest buying a brake line set from one of the parts
suppliers. TRF, Moss, and VB have them, as do (I'm told) British
Parts Northwest and Rimmer Bros. They don't seem terribly expensive.
This is what I'm planning on doing with mine anyway. If you do make
them yourself, more power to you!

TR3 body ready to come off frame, if only I had a place to put it.
