One of my brake lines were cut, is there any way I can repair it? I want to hear my options before going to buy a new one.

NO, you need a new one.

I am assuming you meant metal hard line, if so yes you can fix it, but i'd recoment you replace it, if its a rubber flex hose than yes you need to replace it, don't even think twice about it. For the hardline if its just cut and theres not a bad section of line cut the ends nice and square with a tubing cutter, slide a compression fitting on each end and flare both pieces of line and thread the fittings into a coupler, bleed brakes. if part of the line rusted cut out the affected piece, cut out a little further than the rust goes, buy a new piece of brake line from an automtive store, place like autozone should have this, don't even think about using copper tubing. cut the piece to length and then slid the fittings on, flare the lines and use couplers. The thing is if you don't have the tools it'll be cheaper to just buy a new line, and on top of that its not all that easy to flare lines laying on your back when theres brake fluid dripping all over you.

 

hmmm, I'll think about it, if I cant find a brake line then I'll just go with the alternative. And yes, it is a metal hard line.
