you gotta work out how many male and how many felmale connections your gunna need.
i would get to scrappy, get the whole lines, or cut a load of connections off.
all the threads are the same though

My Local charges me 20p a fitting and everytime I need some I buy ten or so of each and then I have a few in stock
Just go buy 10 normal males, 10 normal females, and five long males, a length of copper of steel brake line and a brake flaring kit. You'll be able to do the entire job with that.. guaranteed

Buy new ones - don't be a PIKEY!!
Rally design stock all you need male and female - I got a pipe cutting and flaring kit from ebay and a 25 ft roll of copper brake piping when I re-lined my car. Didn't cost much at all and you have the peace of mind that you have all new lines

As above, don't do it Jay-style Brake fittings cost pence from motor factors, and they should have a coil of brake pipe too, also cheap. Brake pipe flaring kits can be bought for under £10 posted, spend £15-£20ish to get an acceptable one. You need M10 x 1mm fittings, male and female. The pipe flaring kit will include a pipe cutting tool.
