[Healeys] Brake Line - suggestions

[Kees Oudesluijs]

Pipe benders are cheap and can be even cheaper on eBay. However if you 
are a bit careful using large tubes, bottles etc. you do not really need 
them. The trick is to do it slowly and watch carefully what is 
happening. Do not treat is as an afternoon job but take your time.
