Default Not going to lie to you guys it's been 20+ years since I have bent brake lines (( 11-14-20 ))

So it has been years since I made brake lines and I figured what the heck I have nothing but time so why not give it a shot. I decided I
was going to make the mock up line in the 3 pieces and then come back and attempt to make the line in one piece.

So out comes the trusty metal coat hangers and I made my first pattern.





Then the next





and finally I made the complete pattern.





Here goes nothing !











Hard to believe my first attempt went so well.





The final bends on the drivers side went well however I was way off on the passenger side.





Opps - oh well I will give it another shot in a couple days.
