<p>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.<br>

<div>When you are looking for tube benders, you might try
O'Rielly's. They have many specialty tools that they loan. You
buy them and then bring them back when finished and they give
you a full refund. Some have a time restriction on how long you
can keep them but my local shop has been good about giving some
extra time with no penalty. I haven't checked on tube benders
but it's that type of specialty tools they do it with. Other
auto parts shops might have similar programs also.</div>

I've built all my own brake lines and it is doable with a little
practice and the tools and materials are not very expensive.<br>
<br>
Had the SS lines from the late Doug Reid and they work-harden and
no longer seal after a couple of times tightening. I've done mild
steel for practice and recommend cunifer.<br>
<br>
Federal Hill Trading is a great source for all info and supplies
for building brake lines:<br>

<br>
Eastwood has good inexpensive 3/16" flaring tools. For pix see my
gallery:<br>

<br>
See my other galleries for more flaring. Also there are lots of
YouTube videos on flaring.<br>
<br>
Also suggest Lisle tube bending pliers - can do tighter bends than
the Harbor Freight tube benders.<br>
Search on amazon for: Lisle 44150 3/16" Tubing Bender Pliers <br>
