I figured you might be.

I posted this link http://www.brokevw.com/flare.html recently. It may
shed some light on how one can make these brake lines. Or.....

Your FLAPS should have precut lengths flared with nuts on. Double
check the archives, but I'm pretty sure what you want are lines with
ISO "bubble" flares. It's unlikely they'll be exactly the right
length, but they can be bent with the right tool.

Cheers,

Neil.
