So, it looks like the KISS principle will prevail... I'll probably follow in Steve's footsteps and fab some new ones out of steel brake lines. I already have the banjo fittings and a gas torch, so this should be pretty simple to do. I was considered using -3 AN to M8 x 1.25 adapters on the OMP and then make up some regular AN lines, but I haven't been able to find anybody that carries -3 AN Male to M8 x 1.25 Male metric adapters. The idea here was to replace the hollow bolts and banjo fittings on the OMP with these adapters, then go with typical AN braided SS line from there. As a last resort, I could weld some up, but now we're really better off with option 1 (KISS). I have found banjo fittings with AN male fittings, but there isn't enough room on the OMP for three of these and the typical size is 10mm and I need 8mm banjos. Thanks for everyone's suggestions.
