Break Line sizes and where to buy?

I am sure this must have been covered before, but for the life of me I can’t find it.
Working on 3rd gens over the years I have ran across break lines that were not SAE.
At some point I began cursing the phrase, “bubble flare”.

The problem is, many of the lines are not SAE they are metric, and the auto parts stores around me do not carry big enough metric lines. Sure they have the real small ones for the import cars, but not the larger ones.

So I wonder, where do you guys get your break lines when they are metric sizes?
Is there a mail order site that sells them in shorter lengths?
I have found people selling like 25’ of it, but its rare that I ever need that much.
I only need less than 4’, and the lines with the fitting on them already would be great as well.
