Euro Car Parts should be able to supply standard rubber ones, I'd do them as a pair though. What has it been rubbing on? I've recently twisted my fronts through 180 degrees to sit behind the strut as they were rubbing on the front wheels on full lock.

I'm pretty sure I've got a set of spare Goodridge braided lines that I removed when fitting the ksport kit a few years ago (it came with its own).

But they're down here...

Grab a standard one from euro.. glad that didn't happen while on the road..

make sure you re-adjust the clip on the coilover so it can't chaff again. (worth checking the other side too).

be careful changing the line also as you do not want to damage the thread on the pipe, changing the passenger side one of those = engine out most of the time.

Don't take it all off until ready to replace as you will get dirt and crap in there, make sure you've got a litre of brake fluid as
You'll need to fully bleed the system, vid link for you. ... Be gentle!

who ever fitted your braided lines originally wants punching, or whoever fitted the coilovers and re-attached the brake lines.

It looks like (from the pic) it has chafed on the coilover strut where the pipe is not fitted correctly, turn the wheel lock to lock to see it

Theres a manifold type thing where the 2 pipes drop through the floor under the seat, just needs a new line run from there to the caliper, if it's bad on both sides of the manifold put a join under the back seat.

Which side is it, bet it's the awkward passenger side that goes over the tank.

I know it's not what you want to hear but I'd strongly recommend checking the condition of the steel pipe that comes through from under the seat, there is a plastic coating over most of it but they corrode in that small gap where the plastic coating ends and the union that joins the little manifold, mine looked ok but sheared as soon as we put a spanner near them.

Pop the rear seat base out and it's on the drivers side, pipes run through the car and then drop down under the seat.

There's no join there, think it's a single piece from under the bonnet to under the back of the car.

It disconnects under the car just after where the pipe drops down, you probably won't get it out without dropping the tank.
