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.
