For your hard lines, most will tell you to get a double flaring tool and do it yourself with lines from NAPA. Do a search and you will find some information on this.

www.classictube.com has lines as well.

I have replaced all of mine through napas stock of misc lengths. There should be a box in front or back with lots of sizes and lengths. The ones on the right are metric and fit. Pick your length and make sure its the right end. Cheap too!

You can get them new from Toyota, or Napa has them in stock, at least around here. The soft lines are super easy to get.

cruiser solutions used to sell a complete kit all pre-bent, not sure if they still do. be cheaper if you do it your self, but probably quicker with a kit.
