G'day

ride down to your local brake shop and have a chat to them would be your safest bet

no disrespect intended but if you are not  too mechanically minded, i would be using the professionals and I think you would find they could make up a set and fit them at a reasonable cost

+1 I have a local automotive brake shop that will make up hoses or pipes on the spot. Either take the bike in or take photos of both ends use a piece of wire measure fitting to fitting.
