Buy unbent or complete bent line?

[steel1212]

After looking into redoing my brake lines I've come across prebent or picking what ever type of line I want and bending it? Is it worth the saveings to bend it if I can find a buddy with the tools? I'll also probably be redoing my fuel line in the future as well.

I have just finished this on my 66. I replaced all the lines including the trans cooling lines. I bought the pre bent lines in stainless from NPD. The finished job is very neat, only a little "adjustment" was required in order to get everything together. I purchased a really nice bending tool when I installed a dual master cylinder, but I did not even for an instant consider trying to make the other lines.

Lemme know when you want to redo your fuel line. I have 25ft of stainless steel line still coiled in my garage that I cant use.

Bending lines isn't as easy as it seems. It takes a little practice to figure it out, but once you do, it's not so bad.

I say, save the agrivation, buy the bent lines. If you have to double flare the brake lines to the correct length, another pain.

does anyone know a good source for pre-bent 1/2 fuel line? I want something bigger for future aspirations

I don't think I'd want to try to bend stainless line. I'd buy prebent stainless, or use regular and bend my own. Then again, I have *great* luck with anything stainless
