I replaced this very same brake pipe a few weeks ago. I purchased the pipe
from TRF, and it came with all correct fittings. I had to bend it to fit, but
with a lot a patience (and reference to the old pipe) I was able to
successfully do it. I would advise purchasing a pliers-type brake pipe bender
from Eastwood (or perhaps you can get it elsewhere) and I also used a pipe
bender that enabled 180 degree smooth bends (purchased from McMaster-Carr) to
be made.

I did this very thing a few years ago. I'll try to remember not to
forget to take a pic. Driver's side. Front or rear? What are you
hoping to learn?
