Did you break the rubber or the steel line? The metal line can be replaced with sweat-soldered hard copper tubing and fittings- - - -the same stuff that's used in some household water systems. (and it never rusts) Flex lines can be fabricated with threaded fittings from hydraulic hose by someplace like NAPA- - - -WAY overkill on pressure/vacuum rating, but they will last about three days past forever!
