When I redid mine (had been mangled by the PO) I went to Home Depot and got a roll of the tubing. I stopped by harbor freight and got a bender (both kinds they sell, actually, they are cheap) and one of their flaring tools. Start at one end and work your way to the other with the bender, leaving a little long, then do the flares after marking the locations. Practice a few flares first. You will also need a tubing cutter, they are very cheap as well. Contact me directly if you have any trouble operating the flaring device.
