I had to replace all of the lines on my 91 because they had corroded through. I bought about 20 feet of steel brake tubing, a flare tool, and a small bender, but I got so sick of fiddling with that flare tool I ended up going with all compression fittings and only used the flare tool for parts that connect to OEM components (porportioning valve, etc) . This is a controversial subject, but they have worked great so far, and were much easier to deal with.
Its controversial because it isn't legal. Compression fittings are a big no-no. You're going to kill a bus-load of Nuns and orphans!
Not to be too insulting, but man-up and flare them properly. Yes its a fiddly job, but this is a safety item. Of all things that are ok to half-a$$, this isn't one of them.

I know I know... I needed to get it back on the road and I figured it was a heck of a lot safer than the rusted brake lines that kept busting unexpectedly every few months. OP. Do what Golgo says and flare em.
