You must replace a damaged section of brake pipe. You must use steel pipe designed for brake systems. You must use double inverted flare(or ISO bubble) unions to connect your spliced pipe, NEVER use compression type fittings that are commonly used for fuel/oil pipes. Use the proper tools, materials and techniques, if you cant, pay someone who can.

so the compression couplings are not good to use cause thats exactly what i did it seems to be holding up for now but i dont know how long it will
