Re: Source for pre bent brake lines

stainless is more difficult to bend and flare because it's harder and less malleable than mild steel. High carbon steel, heavy wall, or any other high strength tubing presents similar difficulties

good quality tools will make these tasks manageable and easy with a little experience

cheap import tools like harbor fright might leave you disappointed or struggling to get passable connections

good luck!

small sample of my early work in my 20's

hand bent 6000 psi HP limiter tubing on a Denison Gold Cup pump





Parker Vpak motion base 3000 psi HPU prototype for Nascar amusement ride Irvine Spectrum. kinda sloppy but just needed one out for testing





bonus for hockey fans - no tube bending, just power steering / hydraulic fan pump for a Zamboni
