Actually, I believe Earl's only available thru retailers, primarily speed shops. And i don't believe they market their hoses pre-assembled for specific applications. I'm not current on their offerings, but back in the '80s when i had a speed-shop business i carried the Earl's line & I had to order the hose & components, then custom cut & assembly the hose @ my shop to suit customer reqmts. Brake lines were an exception, in that pre-assembled hoses were ordered pre-assembled (and I believe pressure-tested), for safety sake. But the hose was ordered by size (AN-4 for brake lines) & length provided by customer.

Some specialty shops, such as for Corvettes, for which I have knowledge of, offer application specific brake lines based on their own measurements. You may find similar offerings for Ford autos.

If i recall, the best hose to use for brake lines are those w/ crimped-ends (vs. the reusable ends) & also w/ short-stiff plastic sleeves installed over the hose at each end.

I strongly suggest regular examination of SS/braided brake lines for fraying or leaks, which generally occur @ ends.

Hope this helps.
