brazing
Brazing is a perfectly good operation to repair a line with a hole in it. So long as the line is properly cleaned and the hole is not large enough to let the brass get into the line, restricting it. I have brazed many a brake and fuel injector line. Experience is the key to a successful brazing job.
I used to manage a GM service dealership, and the techs always tried to braze a line first. One can tell if the line is a rusted piece of crap or that the hole is too big. Brazing is getting to be a lost art, and it is amazing what a little piece of brass can hold together.
