I assume you really mean 'brake line' here...anyway, those pipes usually
include the correct fittings at both ends already pre-installed. They
usually come coiled up in the package and you just have to smooth them out
and bend to match the original. OTOH, you can also obtain fittings
separately and then buy pipe locally in larger quantities. Then you you can
cut to length, use your own fittings, and flare the ends (provided you have
a flaring tool. Good luck.
