Brake hoses etc

Hi there. 
I don't know how long my car has been sitting around, and even though the brakes seem to be working well currently, I want to replace anything on the brake system I can, such as hoses etc before things go wrong.
Do they sell brake hose "kits" anywhere or do I have to buy everything individually?
Can anyone help me put together a list of things I might need? Was thinking of making an order from cip1, but it's a bit daunting with so much stuff on offer. 
I appreciate any help I can get.
Cheers

Cheers.
Yeah Vintage is usually my first port of call, but there were a couple other things from the U.S I wanted aswell that you can't get here.
Thought I might be able to kill two birds with one stone.

Haha. So I guess you missed the bit where I mentioned cip1 in the original post yeah?
The standard response to a question on AVD must just be posting a link and/or details to a shop haha. Oh well.

Anyway, I think I may of figured out what size brake lines I need. 270mm and 440mm. If that seems incorrect to anyone who knows about Type 3's please let me know.
Cheers

They are really cheap though - if you grab a few items it beats buying from Aus.

Mate have you read any of my posts at all? 😉

Be careful that any brake components you bring into the country adhere to Australian ADRs - brake lines especially.
