Help with disc brake fittings

So I decided to replace my old rubber hoses with some nice stainless hoses I found from a guy who makes and sells them on ebay. The lower hose I received has a different pitch M10 thread then the pipe that comes off my caliper. I believe the stock fittings are a M10 x1.25, because i can thread a normal M10 bolt into my old hose fine.

This guy I bought the hoses from is not responding to emails so far, so I'm looking into any other options I may have to make this work. The local parts stores here only seem to have SAE flare nuts, is there any places you guys know of I might be able to get a flare nut that matches the fitting he crimped on my hose?

I'm doing my best to resist the urge to run a bottom tap into this hose fitting to cut the stock thread size. This whole situation is pissing me off frankly. The dude that is selling these hoses is coastguard1975 in case anyone cares...
 
I got my hands on a brake pipe from a wrecked Honda car that has the same M10x1 fittings the new brake hose had. SO it looks like I will be able to cut the flare off my bikes pipe and reflare with correct nut on. I did hear back from the guy I bought the hoses from finally, he's checking to see if he can get M10x1.25 fittings also. So either way I should be good to go...
 
These guys are really good to deal with and can get most any fitting of adapter you may need...
