You can remove the metal line, take it to a good brake shop and they can bend you a new one using their brake line machine or you can buy a brake line tool and so it yourself using the old line as a patern.

That fatigue crack might keep running. If you've got that much hose why not just shorten the metal pipe - cut the bad section off, deburr, re-attach the hose. Weird that you got a crack in the first place though. Is there an attachment/support missing? Need to find out why it cracked and keep it from happening again...

Possibly a result of over tightening the hose clamps during the radiator replacement?Originally Posted by SlowPro48
I'd second the idea of cutting the bad section, etc, it would just depend on the condition and thickness of the rest of the tubing. The stuff that gets used for those types of lines usually seems to be made of thin wall material, so unless it's new, I'm not sure how much luck a person would have flaring/expanding the end like it comes from the factory. Without that flared end, the hose and clamp could simply slip off the end.
