Suggestion for source for hard brake line - flare? BLE? 700 1991

In replacing 2 of my front rubber hoses it seems I will have to replace at least 1 if not 2 of the hard lines. The steel lines are not easy to bend. Any suggestions of a source for the copper lines? I looked at FCPeuro and Eeuroparts and didn't see a listing. Another thought - get a new nut and replace? I will need to get a flaring kit - I think bubble flare? Brake lines or nuts are BLE I think? Not sure direction to go. Thanks.

    Hi,

    You should be able to bend this by hand. It's pretty soft.

    Most auto parts stores sell brake lines. I believe they are double flare..

      Shortly after Volvo started making the 240 series Volvos, they converted over to bubble flares and this predates the advent of the 700 series Volvos.
