David, you should be able to source this piece of tube with the two
flares and fittings already on it from your local Advance Auto or
Autozone (I forget which).  They have this size tubing and fittings in
different lengths already premade.  Just take as much of your old tube
there and measure the length of it and you should be able to get
something a little longer that will work as a replacement.  You can also
get long runs for the front section of clutch tubing as well, but you
will need to get a union to join them together since they won't be long
enough so you will have to get a couple of pieces.

BTDT.

Hope this helps,
