http://www.swagelok.com/ makes excellent fittings, and you can locate a distributor here http://www.swagelok.com/distributors/locate_dist.aspx.
I had a line go bad on me and I already had some 1/4" line so I purchased two 6mm to 1/4 couplings. I think that was the size. They have 6mm to 6mm also. Worked good. I tried do brake lines like this and when it was inspected for a sale the guy said thats a no no for brake lines even though it works. Not sure if its a no no for the hydraulic lines for the suspension. I believe the fittings are rated for high pressure for this application. It worked for me and saved me from messing with fittings on the control valve which were hard to get to.
If nothing else this will buy you time. Myself, I'd do this before any epoxy or jbweld, just my oinion.
