I did a write up here on rear line and hose replacement on my 1981:

Yours should be similar.

The upshot is that the lines themselves were purchased from my local
auto parts shop. I made sure to get lines with the "German" flare:

 Should be lots of info in the archives on the proper type of flare
one should have at each end of line.   ("bubble" flare IIRC)

It's not a rocket surgery job but using a flare nut wrench, time,
penetrating fluid and possibly heat were safe, is important. You may
wish to consider doing both sides and flex hoses if not certain when
they were done or if the other side shows similar corrosion.
