Chris, I bought the coper-nickel lines from Moss when I did my car. They
were a perfect fit, and they are easy to bend into shape.
Steel lines are more difficult to bend, and you need the proper flare ends to
fit everything.
For my 2 pence, it is much less work to buy the complete kit, ready to
install.
