I want to try and buy the parts in advance as the hydraulic nut looks well used. ThanksAttachment 216309
You could get a 1/4 inch flared steel brake line at a local parts store. Someone used copper because they probably didn't know how to flare a steel line or didn't have the tool.

You got to double flare them and have the tool to do it. Not sure how long it is but it can be fixed.

What is it connected to on the other end and how long is it ?

The make compression unions that can be used on brakes to connect the other end but it has to be cut and flared with new 1/4 nut. . Copper should never be used on brake lines . At least since I have been turning wrenches.
