It seems like I had this problem on my 72B which involved replacing
pretty much most of the brake lines. Ed of Just Brits said to use my
thumbs (literally). So I did, slowly, and the lines and I survived
unscathed. On my latest project, a 64B, I had to replace one of the rear
lines. This time I used a cheap Harbor Freight tube bender (less than
USD10) which was slightly easier/safer making a 90 degree bend. But
either way, it is not tough but does take a bit of time. The lines are
fairly flexible and are inexpensive (as I recall).

Subject: [Mgs] pre-bent brake lines?
Anybody know of a source for pre-formed brake lines for RB MGB? Seems
that Moss & VB only sell straight lines & bending tools. I am aware of
the various DIY solutions to this need but would rather just take
something out of a box and fasten it to the car.
