Looking for a tube bender for brakeline/fueline

Postby landshark » Tue Mar 20, 2012 8:09 am

Iam looking to acquire a nice tube bender for hard brakeline and fuel line. I would like to purchase one rather than borrow as I would use it from time to time on my other project... thanks!

This is the one I've got. Haven't used it yet, so can't give a review, but it seems to be relatively good quality for the money.

cool will do then.. i see them all the time at the auto parts store but wanted to see what was out there before I picked one up.

I want to run my fuel and electric lines before I put the frame back on the body.

You do it your way, but I prefer to put the body on the frame. LOL!! boxing

Really, I think you're doing amazing work especially considering the tight spaces you are working in. You have my respect, but I had to give you a ribbin'.
