Hand form able brake lines

Why such a tight radius turn?

If it isn't related to a clearance, you can make a loop with the 'exit' at just about any angle you like- if you have room for the loop ;)

To make tight bends in hand bendable line, start by making a larger, shallower bend, then continue to tighten it, working from one end of the bend to the other.

I like to grasp line with both hands, thumbs nearly touching each other and push with my thumbs. Seems to spread out the force just enough to not kink, yet close enough to concentrate the force to bend.

A bender is easier ;)

Can't do a loop it is a clearance problem. The guys at the auto parts store said even with the Copper nickel alloy it would be tough making the tight bends. Went to 3 auto parts stores and no one had a flexible line with the fittings I needed. I think I found a replacement part so I ordered it today. I learned a lot from this thread thanks for all your incites.
