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. |

I guess I am in the minority. I havea a cheapo bending tool, and 99.9 time out of 100
I and up using my thumbs and forefingers. I have founbd this to be an easier ansd more accurate way then the cheapo bending tools. I am plannig on purchasing a much nicer setup in the near future though (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) |
