Can you give pictures.
Not sure what a SS is. Did a quick google search and all I see is bunch of wires..

ss brake lines are, stainless steel braided brake lines. They are still flexable like rubber but under heavy and hot breaking conditions they will not expand like rubber. This gets rid of the "mushy" gummy no brake feel!

If you could find the correct length and fitting size I am positive that these folks can make them. They made a few custom sets for me over the years.

Those are stainless steel braided brake lines. The stock ones are rubber and the line inside stretches when you apply the brakes. The SS lines do not allow the inner brake line to bulge or flex and you get firmer, more predictable pedal feel.

Goodridge is the only company to date that has the lines. They are $130 for the set.
