Scott,

Had to replace a hard line on the 164.  Mark is right.  You can find a hard
line at Pep Boys and bend it with the tool to fit.  The stock lengths are
usually 12,  23, 36 inches, etc.  If necessary, you can cut the line to your
specific need and reflare the end.  Pep Boys carries a flaring kit for about
$20.
