If it's steel, an alternative source of new, very formable metal line (as
opposed paying the dealer a zillion dollars for the factory part) would be
standard hydraulic tubing. Yes, it does come in large enough sizes at your

existing steel line and don't have a double-flaring tool, there are
compression-type hydraulic fittings in the same section of the store.
Again, pretty inexpensive.
