I just make new hardlines from standard copper tube. I think the reason they did this was to constrain the motion of the flexi hose, so while technically there is no reason you couldn't just run a flexi straight in to the caliper, I'm not sure what the motion would look like then. Standard, its in a nice U shape and stays that shape wherever the steering / ride height is - just a larger or smaller radius. If you had a union coming straight from the back of the caliper then I think the hose has a much larger range of movement.
HEL (who are 6 miles from me) could make up pretty much anything in stainless braided, but having had a look at a caliper today I'm not sure what shape you'd want to make it tbh.
