I stopped at my local NAPA store and asked about brake lines. They sell one that is a nickel/something alloy but it is about $2.50 per foot as opposed to $1.00 per foot for steel. I asked about metric fittings and he said that it would come flared and with the fittings I need. I would just need to bend it.
I just need to figure out how to get to the clamp that sits right behind the engine.

the precut and flared line can be too long - so that is also a concern, you can buy them from autozone too.
brake lines come in three flavors.
1 - uncoated steel
2 - coated steel
3 - cunifer (the best kind)
get some cunifer assembled line, and coil it up properly if its too long - thats the cheapest way to do it. Otherwise you will need to purchase a bubble flare tool to make exact length lines yourself.
