Hi Mark,
I would just call one of our Corvair vendors who sells new replacement 
brake lines.  MUCH better than splicing and more reliable too.  I broke off 
a couple of lines also on my latest 65 Monza vert.  The replacement lines 
are at least close enough in length to work.  I also purchased one locally 
from an auto parts shop that worked also.  Try either and see what 
works.  I would not recommend splicing.
