The brake hose vs hyd hose liability thing is a common issue. What I came across more often was welding places that will make you a trailer, but wont make a roll cage because of liability issues. You would think a trailer coming apart on the road would be a bad thing, but evidently a failed roll cage is a bigger issue. It's all about that rediculous ripoff scam we call "insurance".
As far as those parts go, they dont make the hoses or front wheel cyclenders for my '56 either. But, the hoses from a later model are available & were only a few inches longer. 7/8" bore wheel cylenders were available from a '61, just had an angled fitting boss, but otherwise identical.
Really, if you can find a local Napa shop with someone that knows how to use thier books, you'll be able to find something that works. May not be the same year, or exactly like original, but the parts are out there.

I dig all cars, old and new, whether they were hammered out of American iron, German steel, or Japanese tin cans. Being unable to appreciate them all is missing out on a world of great things.
But thats just MY opinion! :P
