Where to source pre-cut brake line tubing with fittings?

By the way, I should have mentioned that although you can get the lines from Autozone, I simply bought 2 new lines from porsche when i was doing this. Like you, I mangled both my fronts and had to replace them. I just cut the lines with a dremel cut off wheel then got the stripped fitting off using a hex socket. I probably had such good luck with the hex socket because I gave up on the flare wrench very quickly so I wouldn't completely mangle them.

Different car I know, but thought this may help... on my 944 Turbo I had similar issues with flair wrenches and line fittings. My mechanic friend told me to buy a new wrench... a good one, because the cheaper ones are never sized properly. I drove to a Snap-On store close by, drop a whole whack of cash on a set of Snap-On flair wrenches. Well worth it. The fit was perfect and I have never stripped a brake line fitting since... I never would have believed it until I saw it myself.
