SS brake lines
I know someone on this forum has made them. I have not found them pre-made for our vehicle; this is part of the problem of having a relatively exclusive, low production car. Any recommendations as to whether it is worth the effort (especially for track use) and what may be involved in making a set?

Banjo fitting at the rear caliper. The yellow goop at the end of the black bit covering the hose is sealant to prevent crap from getting into the joint between the fitting and the hose. The hose itself is covered in clear vinyl to prevent dirt from getting between the braid and the liner.

Go for it! Did you try STaSIS or Stable Energies? Perhaps they can help you. Another option...
Assuming no one makes them...
Would be to buy at you one OEM stock front brale line and one OEM stock rear line from your local Audi dealer and bring both of them to a shop that can make custom S/S brake lines.
That way they would have the OEM parts to see exactly how long and what fittings are required to make a S/S version of those lines.
Once they are done simply return the OEM lines back to the dealer for a refund. If you don't feel comfortable with this tactic (returning the OEM lines) then you could always remove the two lines from your car and go to the shop with them. This would create a longer down time for you and your car.
