Default NOS 5177 copper purge lines

Can anyone help me try and find where to purchase only the bendable copper purge lines that come with the NOS 5177 kit? Or maybe a substitute? One of mine snapped

I got the copper line that I use for my purge at the local hardware store, most any hardware store should have what you need.

Copper works but it is subject to cracking from vibration. Not a big deal on a purge line but that is why you never see it used in a critical application like brake line.

Nylon or plastic line works fine. I used the white nylon line we used to use for hydraulic brakes on our race karts. You can heat it with a heat gun and bend it easily and it will hold the shape after it cools. A wet rag helps it cool more quickly. It makes gradual bends nicely and can be tywraped in place. You should be able to find it at a hardware store or for sure at a hydraulics supply place. I am going to get some black line I found at the hydraulic place since it blends in and looks like a factory line.
