Bending the lines isn't the hard part. You can buy brake line material in bulk
at lots of auto parts stores, and you can get a tubing bender there, too. The
hard part is getting a correct flare in the end of the line so they seal
properly. Unless you plan on doing some custom brake work for some reason,
you're probably a lot better off buying new stock ones.
