If you bend one, go to the auto parts store and get a piece of brake line in the right diameter that is already flared and has the fitings. You can get a cheap bender for $5 or $10 too while you are there. A little too long is better than a little too short. If it is too long, you can put a couple of extra bends in it to take up the excess. Just lay it down and try to copy the bends in the old one as good as you can.

The other option is to get one from the junkyard.
