Brake pipe work question

I need to replace some brake lines and not really wanting to do it myself from a kit. Can you buy preformed brake pipework from Vauxhall? Or how do I find out what lengths I'll need if I go the HEL route?

The parts that need attention are the two front to rear and the two rears from the brake bias valve to the wheel. I may even change the two fronts whilst I'm at it because the semi-pro that done them at the garage last year didn't contour them at all

Not sure Vauxhall would still sell such a thing but I bet they, along with most other garages just use the copper pipe you can buy on a roll. To find the length you can measure the old one when removed and have a motor factors sell you the right length with the connectors on the end, then you can shape it as you fit it.

Not expensive, just a little time consuming.
