If the line has fittings on the ends, I doubt that the spring type tool will fit over the fittings. But I agree that you need something to avoid kinks.

I've seen two kinds, One is like a conduit bender where you bend the line around a circular form. The other is like a spring that fits over the tube to prevent kinking. I can't recommend which is best. > -----Original Message----- > From: Mercedes [mailto:mercedes-boun...@okiebenz.com] On Behalf Of > John Reames via Mercedes > Sent: Friday, September 26, 2014 3:57 PM > To: Dan Penoff; Mercedes Discussion List > Subject: Re: [MBZ] Mercedes brake lines > > Do you end up needing any tools to bend them or are they soft enough > to bend by hand without crushing? > > > > -- > John W Reames > jream...@verizon.net > Home: +14106646986 > Mobile: +14437915905 > > > On Sep 26, 2014, at 15:17, Dan Penoff via Mercedes > <mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: > > > > Always been that way. > > > > Dan > > > > Sent from my iPad > > > >> On Sep 26, 2014, at 2:54 PM, John Reames via Mercedes > <mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: > >> > >> FYI, when you order them they are not bent in the proper shapes; > >> you > have to do that yourself! > >> > >> -- > >> John W Reames > >> jream...@verizon.net > >> Home: +14106646986 > >> Mobile: +14437915905 > >> _______________________________________ > >> http://www.okiebenz.com > >> > >> To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ > >> > >> To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: > >> http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com > >> > >> All posts are the result of individual contributors and as such, > >> those > individuals are responsible for the content of the post.
