If you find a clean spot to connect forward of the rear wheel definitely splice! It's going to be at least 4 more hours labor to replace the entire two lines.

I bought a 25' spool via Amazon. You can likely get NiCopp line in spools at auto parts store but also it's almost exactly 10' and 8' for the two lines you can get there 4' and one 6' section and a couple unions you need no bubble tool just a couple unions. The problem is you won't find tubing with the 12mm fitting so you would need a 12mm to 10mm bubble flare adapter and I'm not sure it exists..

I'm going with NiCopp it will out live my X5 no reason to go with stainless and reg steel is what got me here. Pointless stuff
