Default Tranny Lines

I have a slight leak from one of my Trans Lines for my 1980. I've been considering running braided stainless hose in lieu of the solid lines, but am thinking that if I could find some "new" solid lines that I might be better off. Does anyone know where I can find replacements where I don't have to do the bending? Thanks in advance.

Thanks Guys,
I know the fittings are tight. I think I may have kinked one a bit on installation. I just ordered a set from classic tube. I really appreciate the heads up.

Man, go to your local parts store and buy about 5' brake lines...work fine...bend easy lay them right in there....with a 350 tranny, it's easy...try it with a 700r4 conversion....I had to cut a hole in the tranny tunnel just under the radio on pass side to get a wrench in there....
