brake lines

hey guys i was mounting my electric fuel pump to the frame and hit the steel brake line that goes along the frame from the back to the master cylinder with the drill on accident and it has a hole in it. what is the easiest way to fix it? the rest of the line is fine no rust or anything just that one pinhole, can i get a line from the salvage yard and put it on or will it be impossible to make it fit, or buy a whole new line and bend a new one, or cut the bad piece out and put some unions and replace about 5 inches of the line?? thanks guys

No junkyard lines!!! Rent a double-flare tool from a parts store, get a short piece of 1/4" brake line, two unions, and two flare fittings, and then cut the bad piece out and patch the line with the new parts.
