Default Tilton makes SS lines

and this along with the Tilton HTOB is what we are using for my re-assembly (McCleod 12 inch clutch) Be sure that you do not go too far the other way and make the travel too extreme for dis-engagement. This will cause excessive line pressure and this is usually the cause of o-ring failure. The Tilton unit has a new style of fitting that is superior to the banjos, and allows full movement which AN fittings do not. My tranny guys seem to think it's a better way to go. Seriously consider an adjustable pedal stop of some sort.. this will ensure that you do not hyper-extend the TOB and skyrocket the line pressure.

Also make sure that you have a dead center on the bellhousing/engine output shaft. This is done by setting up a dial caliper on the shaft, (mount it to the bellhousing, I assume with a magnet or clamp) and turning the engine slowly. This is my limit of my knowledge on this issue but others here with a lot more experience can give you hands-on advice.
