 Planning my next annual inspection in a few months, and one of my suggestions I received last year was that I need to replace the brake hydraulic lines on the landing gear. Anyone have any good recommendations on a source for these?

Just got a set made from https://aircrafthosestore.com/ after reading a recommendation here.  Emailed them, got a quick response, shipped them the old ones, they made new custom hoses and sent them back within a week.  They sent the old ones back with them and they were identical in length and make.  Cost right at $200.00 for the set with shipping.  Very happy with the experience.

It is possible to order the hose.  Take the ends off put them on the new hose.  You will need a mandrel a vise and a saw and proper size wrench.

Although a mandrel is nice for those just new hose and a 90 degree AN fitting will work just fine. 

90 degree so it can be clamped in a vice while you make up ,the hose

Might take 30 mins total

I use a hand held cut off wheel to cut the hose.

When reinstalling, be careful how the hose is routed. Mine were changed and got pinched by the gear when it was lowered. Applied the brakes after landing and the one brake hung up causing the aircraft to veer to the side of the runway. Fortunately, it stayed on the runway.
