Paul,
I don't know of any "replacement" for that line. You'll have to
measure the length
of the existing line, then get a generic line that is equal to or
longer than the original. Then carefully bend it to match the
original. If the new line is longer, then
you'll want to take up the excess length by putting a "U" in the line.

Yes, the axle movement is why there is a flex line there.

Autozone has the line with the brass block. AZ has them, but I think
you have to order it.

I'd expect Terry, Bob, and Les to all have them. But they probably
get them from
their local auto part store. You do NOT want a NOS one. The rubber
would be 40
yrs old and no good any more.
