So on my 68 bug i took the front beam off to give it a spruce up etc.. i undid the LHS rubber line to the brakes (like the one that connects to the chassis stand off then it copper from there to the master cylinder.

Now the Right hand side was going fine no twisting on the copper piece but then snap brake fluid pissing everywhere, the copper line just snapped in half.

Now do i replace this with another copper hard line or can i get steel braided lines? If so where do i get them from?
And can i replace all the lines so like line from the master cylinder to the stand off then the stand off to the brake.

I was quite sure it wasn't turning as i was holding both sides of the stand off 🙁 oh well.

Thanks in advance,

just take your complete broken pipe to a brake place and they make one.
