brake line replacement

[boyracer]

I have purchased some S/H SRAM brifters for my dirt commuter so i can have full hydro brakes. i need a recommendation for where to buy hydraulic line ( and barbs/olives) as the set i got obviously came of a bloody Oompah Loompah's bike. All other bikes in shed are mineral oil. Local shop said ' no sorry, can't buy just the line' -bunch of muppets. Need a better LBS.
I have some spare XTR lines but not sure about the repurposing regards Mineral oil contamination. Seals and stuff i get the problem of swelling, but line? Clean with? Or just buy online?
Thoughts?

If it were my bike, I’d buy new lines rather than reuse Shimano lines that have had oil through them.
Checked all the usual places? MTBD, Pushys, ebay, Ali??

The line itself isn't that sensitive to different fluids.

BUT!

The terminal fittings are fairly specific to ensure they squish into the right shape with the caliper to seal properly, and that then gets dependent of hose diameter, especially internal. Shimano's higher-spec hose (SLX & up) has a relatively small inner diameter, so the necessary SRAM barb could very well not fit.

So just get the right hose.
