Here's a suggestion for brake lines - it's been in the "List" before - DH
Flexline.  It's a very low profile high pressure tubing that is adaptable to
several fitting styles including AN fittings.  It's expensive but is
extremely light weight.  It has a plastic inner core, a woven layer and
another plastic outer core.  It has a rating of 6,000 PSI and a rupture
pressure of 20,000 PSI.  You  have to purchase it to specs as you can not
alter it with your shop tools.  Many of the IV builders have used it because
it's the only line known to replace the Nylon tubing down the gear leg.

Check it out.  It would probably work for the LNC2's as well.

I've got it in my gear legs - straight run from brake cylinder to brake.  I
also replaced the hoses I'd already purchased for the brake setup behind the
instrument panel.  I did so just to save weight and space.

Regards,
John Barrett
