[FC] Brake Tubing Bending

[Keith Hammett]

I spliced mine behind the cab, then cut and redid the end to match
length.  Use your thumb and a wrench to work the line into the bend that
you want, just be careful not to kink the line.  I believe that Tim
Colsen has a photo of this on his web site.

I think you can get the correct (or nearly so) pre-bent lines from the 
vendors.  For the long line, you will probably need a splice somewhere
along 
the way.
