Default Tube nuts for the vacuum line for a 53' Mercury

Are the correct tube nuts still made for the vacuum line, for a 53' Mercury? All I can find is the 3/16" tube nut inverted flare to be used with the 3/16" compression sleeve, shown on the left of the picture. Is anyone still making the complete vacuum line? If I can't find a complete line I will make one, but I will need the correct tube nuts.

Ford used them until they changed over to rubber tube in the mid 60s.
