Default Looking for a part; any ideas?

I'm working on fixing the rear brakes on my Jeep; both cylinders are leaking and need to be swapped out. But the problem is the line running to the cylinders from the central hydraulic hose.

It's a kind of corrugated metal hose, and it's badly rusted (this could just be a casing around the actual hose, but it looks like the entire thing is metallic). My mechanic is pretty sure disconnecting it is gonna damage it, and wants to replace it. The problem is, no one seems to carry that kind of hose anywhere I've searched. Mostly they just have the central hose only.

Does anyone know the type of hose this is, or where I can get more? Any help would be appreciated.

auto zone!! have to buy by length. believe its 3/16. take a piece of old line with u. measure old line from fitting to fitting. not hard to do. since w-cylinders are getting replaced no worry of broken bleeders!!
