A good FLAPS will have them in various lengths - usually tucked in the back with the hoses and fan belts. I got mine from NAPA years ago. The metric ones have green anodized fittings on the end. There's a hard line up front (the right I think), where the off-the-shelf lengths aren't very close. Proper thing would have been to cut and reflare. I put a loop in the middle...

I got mine from Pep Boys. I had to go into the back and look though, the guys couldn't find metric things (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

They had no metric stuff on the floor. One of the guys took me in the back and there was a rack full of the right stuff. |

Napa. I bought the longest lines they had and cut them to fit, re-flaring the ends with a bubble flaring tool as needed.
