The manufacturers generally sell through dealers (except Venhill). Contact your local dealer, or use a search engine to find out who sells them online. eBay has dealers who carry Galfer parts ~~as well~~. You can also get ss lines made up from a reputable local hot rod or speed shop.

One thing to make sure and look for is that the line has a plastic covering over the steel braid. Without this, you run the risk of lines cutting through fenders, radiators, or even tires. Most suppliers have this taken care of; in fact, you'll probably be trying to decide what color your covering will be. Just make sure that the line comes with one before you order.

The price of stainless lines is roughly the same (sometimes cheaper) as rubber lines and fittings (on the OEM diagram, you have to buy the banjo bolts and washers separately). Plus, you'll have the pleasure of knowing your braking system (and hence, your safety) ~~are~~ up to snuff. Even better? You can easily do the upgrade yourself with simple hand tools.
