Default Base to sport brake upgrade PROBLEM

Did a quick search and didn't see this pop up. So here's my story.

I purchased the 40th anniversary calipers and brake hardware brand new from nissan, at a good price because I have a connection. I went with powerslot slotted rotors, and hawk HP+ pads, as well as goodridge SS lines.

Here's the problem
I go to hook up the lines to the calipers, and the caliper is missing the adapter where the lines are supposed to connect. The stock brakes use a banjo bolt, but the sport calipers are different. I contacted the dealer and they told me that the fitting I need is not sold separately, but comes with the oem sport model brake lines.

Is there any SS brake lines that I can buy that would come with the fitting to just screw right into the caliper, or am I going to get hosed by the dealership and spend unnecessary money on **** lines? Anyone with experience please shed some light here. Thanks guys...
