If you want to make new cooler lines the coated steel fuel line from the auto parts store is fine. It is the same thing as the factory used and that lasted how long? 50 years? And that was with a lot harder use than you are going to give it.

The real uptown way to do it is to get a tubing bender and form a perfect replica of the original and flare the ends and put on new flare nuts. However it is a lot quicker to leave some of the original line on there where it is good, and splice in a new piece with compression fittings or a short length of rubber hose and hose clamps.
