Not sure but my guess is what they will charge you, you could more than likely get braided hoses for.

I assume you mean the metal brake pipes. I have just bought a pipe flaring kit, copper tube and fittings from Ebay. I'm hoping that this will allow me to replace the corroded pipes on my Mitsi Pajero. Ive already replaced a couple with copper made up by my local small car accesory shop. I believe its OK to use copper, as I have passed an MOT with these pipes fitted, and the guy at the shop swears that its OK.

Copper brake pipe is perfectly ok to use. Yes some motor factors will make up the brake pipe for yo and some will make it up to exactley the same shape as yours but you will need to take the old one with you. If you want to do the job yourself then might be better to buy the flaring kit and ends from fleebay.
