Default Help with brake line leak 2001 XK8

I have a 2001 XK8 that has a leak in the brake line located below the radiator. I've repaired sections of brake lines on other cars, but never a Jaguar. Can someone help me with: What size and type metal are the brake lines? Are any kind of special brake line unions recommended? And, can I prepare a section of new line using a double flaring tool kit. Also, if anyone is aware of a tutorial that would help please let me know.
Thank you

I've moved your question from General Tech Help to XK8/XKR forum. Members here with the same model will be able to help.

PKWise,
Thank you very much for the link. It was most useful and now it's time to get back under the car.
Best
