You say you can flare it..... but "regular" flare (the degree(s) that flaring blocks are you buy about anywhere) is 45 deg, and hydraulic flare is 37 deg. It will work.... but has a possibility of leaks. As low of pressure as it is, it will probably be fine. But, if used with the sleeve, the sleeve is for 37 deg. You are better off finding a 37 deg flaring tool.

Brake line will work, yes.

You can buy the nuts and sleeves from McMaster Carr.
I do have the couplers so that Is good. Thanks for the heads up on the flare angle. McMaster it is for the nuts

Looks like I can buy those tubes pre bent... over $150 for the set!!!! Brake line will be cheaper
