Not local I know but this may help. You can buy coils of copper pipe and fittings to make your own sections. So I'm sure there will be someone near you with the kit to assist.
I keep a coil, plus fittings and a flaring kit for such matters, didn't cost much. Bought the tools from Screwfix and bits from the local motor factors.

Kev and myself did the brake lines on the Scrote and his Arsetra mate, very simple and should be cheap enough, if you can get a shotty of a flaring tool?!?! we had the benefit of a ramp which makes things easier but sure you could manage it with help 
Wasn't dear at least, just the cost of brake fluid, piping and unions nuts etc. Kev be better at letting you know what exactly things are called lol

think the nearside one you may be able to get away with not taking the tank out, it kinda runs over it, kinda awkward one to do tbh, would want a ramp to do one, may be esiest to piece in the piece required but then you need an on car flaring tool, plus the steel pipes are a lot harder to flare in the first place compared to the copper, miost garages will take an hours labour to do a brake pipe
