I discovered a crack in the brake line that runs from the master cylinder to the rear today. It appears to be broken right where the fitting is that connects it to the short rubber line with the junction block that splits for each rear drum.

Would it be better to search for a replacement line, buy a bunch of tubing and make my own replacement line, or cut the current one and fix it using a flare tool, adaptors, and a short section of line?

I have never fooled with brake lines before, so any help would be much appreciated.
