Very shortly I hope to be faced with the problem of replumb all of the fuel lines, brake lines, AC hoses, PS hoses ect. I am not at all familiar with the fittings used throught MB's, at least from a fabrication point of view. These tubes and fittings are to go into my V12 107 so they will have to be completly custom.

Does anyone know the sources of these fittings or even what style they are called. Or does anyone know someone who can custom make the hoses and lines.

Flare fittings, NPT (national pipe thread) fittings, run a search and find a million places that have them on the interweb, usually double flare 45 degree i believe, you can pick up the tool from craftsman to flare the tubing for $45~ and another one for bending tube at about the same price. The AC hose is a bubble crimp, or something similar, its a standard for those types of hose, can be done at Autozone usually. PS is probably a little of both. The stuff that comes on old German cars a lot of times is just a hose clamp, not cool.
I get stainless tubing from a hydraulic shop for my brake/clutch lines, if you can't find one I can give you their info. If you want to check it out, you can use A/N fittings that use a 37 degree flare, apparently better and easier to work with, mostly red and blue pretty colors, but mostly just used for flexible line, I personally prefer to use as much hardline as possible.
