When working on my W123, I found that even dealer only sold brake lines in straight pieces. Not bent to shape.
You can buy cupro-nickel brake lines with the ends already swaged. They are not expensive and can easily be bent by hand to shape needed. This is not true of steel lines where you need a tube bender. You do need to make sure you use tubes fitted with Euro bubble flare ends. The tubes come in various lengths for example 8",12",20", etc up to 60". In one case I used two with a joiner to get just the right length.
I bought mine from local parts store in Canada. I am sure they are also available at US parts stores. For example:
CARQUEST - 3/16" Nicopp Brake Lines - European (Nickel/Copper
