I just got done putting "Grove" brakes on my 360.  The original nylon brake lines had failed a couple of times due to the heat and/or poor installation on my part.  After a failure with the new brakes I replaced the first 12" from the calipers with 303-3 hydraulic hose.  I connected the 303 hose to the nylon up on the gear leg away from the heat.  I made up the hydraulic hose myself and the hose to nylon was made with a hose to 1/8" mnpt fitting connected to a nylon to 1/8" fnpt fitting.  All the parts are available from Aircraft Spruce. 

Not only are the "Grove" brakes much better and easier to maintain the hydraulic hose makes for a much more secure installation.
