Where can I get tranny lines?

Im going to do an auto ->T5 swap and want to know where I can get lines to go from the slave cylinder to the master cyliner and from the master cylinder to the reservoir. Im not sure if there are special lines or not because they have to be resistant to brake fluid and be able to withstand pressure. I tried at my local GM dealer and at Advanced auto. Does anyone know where I can get them?

You're probably not gonna find just the lines seperately. I bought the whole assembly at work for $82 but the regular list price is $166. It includes, the slave cylinder, master cylinder, reservoir, and the lines....plus it's pre-bled so all you have to do is install it, NOTHING else.

Pretty much. When I did my swap, I bought the master and slave separately, and looked for the line for about two weeks before I gave up and took the master/slave back and ordered the kit from the dealership.. plus, as Cali said, the dealership kit comes with the resevoir too, and comes filled and bled.

The quality of the bench bleed can be questionable, though. Bleed the thing when you get it installed just to be sure.. I spent about 30 minutes trying to figure out why my "pre-bled" assembly wouldn't fully actuate the clutch.. 20 minutes of that was bleeding the system with a friend under the car turning the bleed screw back and forth.
