Ah, Paul,

Please clarify the reason for your question -

Did Classic Tube make up brake lines the flare nuts using SAE and not UNC? 

If so, call them Monday and get them to fix the problem, they have the 
correct UNC fittings or will be able to sort it out with you on the 
phone.  The guys are always eager to help.
