Replacing rusted rear brake line

Replacing rusted rear brake line
I'm looking to replace the driver side rear brake line. It's the steel one that goes to the back of the drum.
1998 Civic Si with ABS.
Part number is 46361-S04-000.
I gave part source a call and they said they don't do them, they just carry the straight ones that have to be custom bent.
Does anyone know somewhere else that might carry them? And what they might run for.
I'd rather not go to the dealer because of the usually higher prices there but that depends on how much this is in the first place.
Or even a mechanic that can do it for a reasonable price.
Edit: I decided to ring up the local dealer here for curiosity's sake and was quoted a price of around $17 plus tax. Not bad so I ordered it.

try www.autopartsway.ca or www.autopartsway.com or www.rockauto.com.
Most shops just make custom lines out of straight pieces and bend them to fit the car. This can actually be cheaper than buying the pre-bent sections of lines.
If you pick up break line tool kit, you'll be able to make your own. They are not overly expensive. They consist of a line cutter and flaring tool. You can also pick up a line bending tool for pretty cheap to make nice kink-free bends.
