I didn't want to spend $30 plus for a front caliper line so I bot a straight line with fittings at autozone for $5 and want to bend it myself. I don;t want to buy a tool since I really won't have a lot of use for it after this.
It's the S shaped line in the early brakes. Two opposite 90 degree bends. |

They are easy to kink if you have to make a sharp bend. I've got a good two handle tubing bender, and then one of those cheaper ones that was like $6 at a VW parts supplier.
