You should still have a tubing bender on hand, the tri-armor stuff is just nice for when it's not convenient.

I bent a lot of my standard brake line by hand. I would put a socket in the vise and gently bend it the way I needed it. I was able to get more accurate bends that way than I was able to with the "cheap" tubing benders.

ORIGINAL: Mustang Dad

Where can I get these lines?? The NAPA stores int eh area keep trying to seel me the tubing bender. The guys dont seem to know what I'm talking about when I say "handbendable". They think I'm looking for the tubing bender. Frustrating to say the least.
try this napa part # 813-1206 I pulled that number off of a line, just hope I'm not dislexic

That's standard steel line. I'll try to post a couple part numbers when I get to work.
