You can easily bend steel lines by hand. You might need a round pipe to get a
smooth curve. Sometimes I use a partially open vice to bend the line if it is
near and end of the line. You might need to flare the line after putting on the
fitting. Be sure the fitting is in place at the end of the line if you need a
tight bend that the fitting will not slide over.

Subject: [Healeys] Brake line
Finally getting to work on the 67 B I bought for my wife. Seller told me a
metal brake line was cracked and leaking...turns out the someone tried to
braise a patch on the line and it leaked. Any advice on bending the replacement
line to match the old one?
