Hi Fred, I bought 2 from Rusty - the 2 rear ones on my 91 300D are bad - the fittings are rounded off. Looks like someone used a pair of pliers on them. So, I spoke with Rusty and he ordered them - one was in stock the other came from Germany. I was surprised to learn one was no longer stocked and it required an order from Germany. I have them both now but have not yet installed either yet. I bought 3 tools to bend metal brake lines - they're pretty inexpensive and I wanted one that would not crimp the pipe. Don't know about yours, but the ones on my '91 W124 have a special green coating on them. The coating looks like Army green and seems very hard. Buying a straight piece ready made from FLAPs would work but it would not have the proper coatng so I dropped that idea. I am replacing my rear calipers also - again, the PO screwed the bleed valves up pretty badly - they were rounded off, likely the same friggin PO using the same friggin pair of pliers. A couple broke off. Anyway, a fellow lister (Thanks!!) sold me a set of calipers, pads and rotors for both the front & rear of my 91 300D. The front ones went on easily when I installed them last weekend. So, to answer your question - Rusty sells them but they are not in the Online Catalog, you'll need to send him a note or ask a online question. He'll probably get the brake line from MB but you get a discount not available from MB-USA. Then you will have to bend them. You should probably replace the rubber hoses at the same time.
