1958 MGA

I've never had this car on the road.  have dealt with numerous problems aft=
er buying the car in kit form.

now i am having trouble getting the right front brake line - the one that c=
onnects the two brake cylinders - from leaking.  the leakage appears to be =
coming from the where the line connects to the brake cylinder on each side.=
  i took the line to a professional shop to have the old line replaced.  th=
ey could not replace the connectors but replaced the metal line and reflare=
d it.  i suspect the leak is due to bad screw in connectors.  is there a pl=
ace where i can get just those connectors without having to pay all the ext=
ra costs for the usual vendors?

Can you identify this part in the Moss Motors MGA catalog? I see one part
that may be it, 181-140.
