73-87 Front-End Upgrade - Flex Lines?

I have upgraded my front-end to 73-87 components to add power steering and power disc brakes, and to strengthen the steering components. Here are the parts I used/upgraded:
73-87 Moog Ball-Joints (RockAuto),
73-87 HD Discs (CPP),
73-87 Caliper (RockAuto),
73-87 Center Link, Idler & Pitman Arms, and Inner & Outer Tierods,
73-87 Drop Spindle (CPP),
1-Ton Hydroboost Unit,
Disc/Drum Prop Valve,
New Brake Lines (Coming Soon; ECE).
Obviously there were some other bits, but these were the big pieces.

My question -one I've never seen addressed - is, what flex lines do you use to connect the hard lines to the calipers, and how do you secure it so it doesn't get bound up in the suspension?

Bonus points for anyone who can also tell me where to get the appropriate lines in braided steel... :0)

Thanks for all of your help!
