Default where to buy new brake lines (master to brake hose)

My front brake lines to the brake hose has a seized bolt to separate them on the drivers side. I was thinking of cutting and cramping a new part of the line, but had the idea of buying new brake lines for the front. Since I installed the new suspension and motor, the brake lines have been bend dozens of times. I was looking for braided brake lines from the master cylinder to the brake hoses.

Anyone know where I can get them? Would there be any cons using a braided brake line?

Thanks

Never replace hard line for braided line. Your braking response will be terrible. Replacing braided line for rubber line is good but not hard line. If you need any replacment or custom fittings, let me know, I more than likely can help.

Alright then where can I find stock replacement hard brake lines? I'm not sure what the stock fitting size is. I found universal hard brake lines but I want them bend. Any help would be appreciated SJMMFGINC.

If you want an OEM replacement piece, try the dealer, they may have the replacement. Since the car is rather old now though, it could be a discontinued part. I can help you with the pieces but not pre-formed.

I'll give another try on bending them, but does anyone know the lenght needed? The dealers have discontinued the part. Could I use ss than the oem steel? SJMMFGINC could you quote me on prices.
