What shops make brake lines?

Hi All,

While dropping my subframe I had to remove two brake lines from the rear subframe and despite using WD40 a few days before and also trying some tips like unbolting from the 17mm side it still twisted the hard brake line.. Trouble is I don't know where I can get one made, back when I had an E36 I popped down to a car a place called "car spares distribution Ltd" and I gave them my old one and they copied it within 20 minutes for less than £10. Any ideas where else does it?

Buy some 3/16th ( i thinknits 3/16th) copper pipe some unions and a cheap brake line flaring tool and do it yourself. Its very easy. I replaced all the pipes on my old classic landrover, and did a few on various cars ive had.

Any local garage should be able to make some up.
