Good source for front brake line (hard)??

The hard (metal) brake line that connects the proportioning valve to the connection to the flexible hose (front left) on my 1995 Z28 has sprung a leak. Would rather not pay high dealer prices - any ideas of a low-cost replacement source?? Don't think my local auto parts places carry it...

You can't buy the pre-bent complete line at the dealer, either. You buy the pipe and fittings, flare and custom bend it. Auto supply stores sell lengths of pipe with fittings on them, but you may not find the right combination of fittings already on the pipe. You will still have to bend it.

Ditto. You need to buy some 3/16" line and a bender. The bending tool is cheap (Mine was <$10).
