Maybe someone will post a link to a recent thread that discussed where to by parts piece-by-piece?

Most older parts stores sell the copper line by the foot,and the fittings and ferrules to go with the line,also the plastic line kits are available from anywhere that sells gauges. They usually use the same fittings as the copper lines.
