You may have to do a little digging. I know etrailer.com sells stuff too. The most important part is a brake flaring tool. Because I have a race car, I invested in a high end tool, but you can get a cheapy for a single job or perhaps rent/borrow one from a local auto parts store.

If you need trailer parts now see Recreational Sales and Service | Boats | Marine Equipment | Repairs | Buying and selling of boats and marine equipment of any shape, size or condition in Mobile, Alabama. No COVID-19 delays. FedEx freight is across the street from them.

Stainless line would be great, but there are options. I know AdvanceAuto Parts sells coated lines and fittings. They even "rent" the flaring tool needed. Harbor freight has vacuum bleeder which runs from air compressor. It's cheap but works.

I would wrap that steel line in a wire protector before sending it through your frame rail. That brake line bouncing in the frame tends to wear holes in the lines. Also, heritage trailers uses about a 1' piece of rubber brake line to go from the fitting on the frame to the axles. They also give the end of the steel line close to the caliper one or two coils so that it looks like a coil spring and allows enough flexibility.

Interesting comments.
I just replaced all of my nylon braided and top coated lines on the trailer with rubber. The coating was probably there for UV and water intrusion protection; however, after 11 years was flaking off. I noticed I can collapse the OE lines with my fingers. I used Kodiak rubber replacements which I cannot collapse. Six kodiak calipers bleed without issue using the emergency brake lever with great success. Full hydraulic and kodiak master.
What is Myco, Broward trailer and the other quality manufacturers using for brake line on hydraulic setups?
