BMW 320i brake conversion info please. . .

I'm going to do the 320i conversion in hte next month or so. Just too many women in big mothaf*&#ing SUV's cutting me off and I wanna be able to STOP! Actually with dounshifting it's now so bad but I wanna do it.

So I've found the calipers at NAPA factory rebuilt ~$50each with cores. Got cores cheap from a wrecking yard. SS lines ~$50 from PP. 19mm master cylinder ~$100 from PP.

Now I need to fabricate inflexible lines, where is a good/cheap place to obtain lines, benders, and fittings from. Also what size tube etc do I need?

Next is machineing the calipers (I've a '73 2L so I need this), the ONLY place I've been able to find in the Atlanta area is NAPA. I hesitate to use them because of high price and shoddy work in the past. Anyone know of a place in Atlanta that does good work?

Lastly I want to go with a "tee" in place of the proportioning valve. I'm gonna do the requisite lock-up testing, but I'm sure that the tee'll do. Where is a good place to procure one of these??

Thanks All
