Snapped Brake Line!

Snapped Brake Line!
I've been doing abit of work on the S's brakes as the last trackday was spoiled by brake issues.
I've now got bigger problems. The rear brake line has snapped just above the fitting. (See pic below).
Looking from under the car, it looks like it would be a right pain in the arse to change the line. So the only option seems to be joining a new section of pipe to the old, then putting a new fitting on the end?
Has anyone else had any similar problems? Advice more than welcome

What exactly do they do Ron?
I would assume they will connect a small section of brake pipe.
How would they join the two ends, a small compression fitting?

Actually......
There should be a fair bit of slack of the pipes.
You could just cut above the the crack, slot over the collar and get a pipe flairing tool.

Where would I get a pipe flairing tool that small from?

I'll see how it goes, like you say if not I'll take it to a garage.
