Default Power Steering Issues

Wife's 92 Mustang 5.0 leaked out all the p/s fluid the other day. Found the source...there are 2 lines on the rack and pinion assembly that look like brake lines, same material. 1 of the lines rusted at the fitting. What a PITA to get them off but it beats removing the whole rack. Unfortunately, no one has these lines. Can anyone here offer suggestions on where I can obtain them without going to the dealer or bone yard and getting overcharged? Of course fabricating them is an option but if they can be bought pre-made, that's the ticket. Thanks.

Some shops you can go to and they make lines, one of my friends had a PS line burn on the turbo, took the old one to a shop and they made him an aircraft-grade braided steel line
