He got them after killing a Honda Turbo on the way home one day. 
Seriously, they were built from originals by Oil Filter Service, just another piece in the Awesome Pie that is Rasta's Shaggy!

Take the lines to them to get a quote. If you don't have one near you, nearly any custom hydraulic hose company can do it.
I had them do the oil cooler lines for my 951S as one was leaking and it uses a huge aftermarket oil cooler. They had no problems getting the metric fittings or hose.

That does look like a bit of a pain in the lower back!I've been putting it off and need to check mine. did you use the special tool or does an allen key work just as well?

I've used normal Allen wrenches as well. However, the "special tool" is much easier to operate (IMO) when attached to a small ratchet driver, and also provides a safety washer that prevents you from winding the grub screw in too far.
I've seen lifter bores ruined by incompetent previous owners who wound the grub screw in too far causing it to protrude out the other side of the lifter, scarring the bore. If you're not going to use the special tool, take care that you know exactly how far you've wound in the grub screw. When you reach the limit of your current grub screw, you need to move up to the next largest size, indicated by the hatch marks on the non-keyed side of the screw.

Paul,
These guys made a few oil lines for me (the turbo drain breather box thing and another I can't remember.) They also made my buddies A/C hoses as well. Really good guys.

They are in Hempstead a block from Harbor Freight.

I have cut a small piece of allen key and welded it to a bolt head.
Now i use a clicket to do the adjustment...very easy.
