HELP - Big problem

I've justed started working on installing a Painless wiring harness to add some accessories. I first disconnected a High power fuse for my Amplifiers, I then went to disconnect the battery, while I was doing this the pigtail for the amplifier fuse came in contact with the brakeline. It sparked as expected but upon inspection I arc-welded through it and it started seeping brake fluid.

I'm in trouble here guys. I can't drive it and I need to order a new brake line. Luckily It's a short one and not one that goes to the brakes. There is one thing I am not comfortable working on is brakes. It's also 4th of July weekend so time is of the essence.

I posted pics. The screwdriver is pointing to the arc weld and the damaged brake line. http://www.turbodieselregister.com/u...d=1643&width=0 http://www.turbodieselregister.com/u...d=1644&width=0

Any help would be appreciated. This includes part numbers!

Thanx guys,

Kevin
