Default freakin brake lines...i messed up...CRAP..help!!

Well i swapping out my drums for a disc conversion i got off of a 94 EX. i got the whole swap for 60 bucks by the way..lol.
Everything was going great, bolts comming off with ease and everything. So then i get to my hardlines and i broke the hardline right above the fitting. So now i have my rear hardlines gushing out brake fluid of course. i was wondering could i just buy a fitting and put it on the remainder of the hardline thats left or what should i do?? i have no brakes!!!!!

you should replace the whole hard line, its not a good idea to patch up hydrolic lines, especially on something as important as breaks

i just came from autozone and i have a question....what size in the brake line? Also i think i might just buy the hardlines and let someone else install them. I wonder how much that would cost to install them?

You can buy that hardline pre-bent with fittings from the factory. OE baby, th only way to go.. Talk to Bill @ HondaCity, 414-328-3500 tell him you know Adam from Chicago.

Reason #1 why we don't do brake work like that at home!
Thats sucks dude.

Hope you have a good shop close by to bleed them - I had to drive to one at 4am without proper pressure... Not cool! Had to pump them like a bastard!
