    FYI I made both, but what I suggested above was as follows...sorry it must not have been clear.

    Step 1) Get brake line / hose that has female ends... (I'm sure you can buy just the fittings from a brake store as well)

    i.e.


    Step 2) Remove hose

    Step 3) Weld up holes

    Step 4) Profit

    This means that when the lines is unscrewed, it stays charged & pressurised, meaning a lot less effort in rebleeding them.

    I've been trying to find something similar myself (with no success yet) for my Excel.
    The rally rules limit us to standard brakes (except the pads), but I want to use it on track days also. Then I can swap over to bigger brakes (like off the Elantra) along with the rear discs

    All of the methods suggested above by others will result in some fluid and pressure loss.
    This may be something like what you want?
