Default Looking for brake part

I'm looking to see if it's possible to buy just the block that attaches the hydraulic flex line to the calipers? I see that it's possible to buy the banjo ends in dif configurations but I can't seem to locate just the block.
I'm wanting to make/build my own custom SS flex lines, as I did in my bike.
If anyone knows where I can purchase the block as an end or if it can be change to a reg banjo end, I would appreciate it.

Thx

A regular banjo end works just fine, just make sure you have a copper washer on top and bottom. My SS lines have regular banjo ends.

That's great...I can buy SS lines from motorcycle parts store online cheaper than one that's advertised to fit my Ford.

I wouldnt attempt it. The stuff for motorcycles are rated a extremely lower brake pressure than automotive. Buy them already made for the vehicle before you kill someone.
