I'm swapping parts over from a Giant XTC to my new Clockwork frame and due to the longer travel forks the front brake hose is too short.

The rear hose is borderline.

Ideally I'd get a new rear hose to extend an inch or so, the put current rear on the front.

BUT it looks like all shimabo BH90 hoses with the banjo are out of stock.

What are my options!?

Thanks.

I had the same issue this week and manages to get one off eBay which came within 2 days.
From here:

You could try some Superstar fittings although they're alloy and on reading reviews you need to be careful with them. They seem to have stock for the fittings, I didn't get as far as looking at the hose though. I was looking for some BH59 hose last night for the same reason (frame swap) and was thankfully more successful.
I think Goodrich do some nice brake hose/fittings too but again depends on stocks
