Replace brake/clutch fluid reservoir line with what?

3 is company too!
I'm looking for recommendations. My '82 X still has the original fluid reservoirs and lines running to the master cylinders. I replaced all the brake callipers and the clutch slave in the last couple of years and topped off fluids to bleed them, but I've NEVER done a full fluid flush! More than one person has told me, time to completely flush both systems and use a good, race quality DOT 4 fluid.

I presume everyone here will tell me to replace those old, braided lines before I do anything, or they will likely crumble from the inside when I start forcing new fluid through the lines.

What do you guys recommend? what hose should I get and where? I wouldn't mind something that looks nice with a stainless braid covering it.

Give me some suggestions! or point me to this topic already covered on X-Web!
 
Goodyear (Sureline 1/4") makes suitable hose - available from Tractor Supply - and it's inexpensive
