Hi Dale,

Honestly mate buy yourself a pipe straightener, flaring kit and bender. It's not a hard job, just take your time and you can make it look as good as you want. Otherwise just remove and copy the original pipes. You will save yourself some money and have another job to be proud of on your car.

I would imagine that any brake shop could do this for you?

...are you talking about hard lines? Or hoses?

Hard lines I'd also recommend doing this yourself. Quite satisfying and the only expensive tool is the flaring tool itself if you buy a really nice one.

Soft lines should be readily available at any brake shop (and as far as I'm aware, you can't make ADR-compliant brake lines at home without their special crimper anyway)
