John,
Pre-formed brake pipes used to be quite common a few years ago, but you don't see them much nowadays.
My personal method would be to buy a roll of brake pipe and a brake pipe flare kit and make it yourself. A good place to look is Car Builder Solutions http://www.nfauto.co.uk/cbs_products_index.htm. Use the cupro-nickel brake pipe rather than the copper (£14 a roll) and the tool itself from £20-37 depending on type. Having the tool in the workshop is always useful for repairs come MOT time, as well as building the kit car.
Wish I was building one again ...
