There's nothing wrong with the stock lines, and if they are in good shape, they will remain leak free and work as well as any aftermarket lines you could buy or build yourself for many years. I would just give the stock lines a very thorough cleaning and inspection, and go from there:

1. Are the crimp fittings corroded excessively (more than just a little surface rust), and if you try to rotate the crimp fitting around the hose, does it rotate at all relative to the hose? If answer is NO on both, stock lines are good.

2. Is the rubber hose material still pliable, with zero evidence of swelling or any unusually brittle/hard or mushy/soft spots that you can feel when you squeeze the hose anywhere along its length? If it passes this test, the stock lines are good.

I agree to disagree on this one. The lines are old enough at this point that its worth the money to get new ones. And the RB ones do look purty!
