Default 1984 Volvo 244 GL Transmission/Oil Cooler Lines!?

First off, where the heck do I find these cooler lines!? I've been hunting all over the Internet, IPD doesn't carry them and they've never failed me before. My cooler lines are leaking transmission fluid so heavily that the car is smoking and not drivable. Someone please help me find these cooler lines.
Also, the shop that told me the lines were leaking wants $250 parts and labor, is that a good price? I see online that I could probably do the labor myself, but I can't find the parts so I don't know how much that would be.

Thanks

Update:
I've found some, all coming out between $85 and $120 per line.. At that price, I'm guessing it's better to just let the shop take care of it, unless anyone else knows some tricks for a cheap replacement.

Anyone?

About five years ago I had the same problem. Mine leaked and I couldn't find any replacements. I ended up making my own. I purchased steel brake line at the nearby auto parts store and bent it myself. It came out ok and is still in service today. Took a bit of time and I trashed one line when trying to bend it. Also it took some extra fittings to install. All this, I think my total came to under $60.
