[FC] Brake Tubing Bending , my humble method

[mopar at jbcs2.net]

I remember years ago a friend who had an interesting method of bending
brake lines.
He would wrap them around the neck of a bottle. I actually used that method
to make the "coils" coming out of the master cylinder of a car. I remember
one time he actually left a baby food jar in the brake line. He wrapped it
to take up slack and screwed the lines in before removing the bottle and
left it in.
Then I also remember when he very long line and coiled it several times to
replace a rear flexible hose..............definitely not safe.

as i posted a long time ago on the web picture site, i use my fingers for a 
lot of the bends i made , or a box wrench and vise . if you go very slow it 
will bend very sharp without kinking.i have never filled the tubing with 
anything,  i have many fancy tools , cheap and expensive that i dont feel
work as 
well. try to find pictures i took while doing a bend , at the web site.
