I Need A Brake Line Bending Tool

Recommended Posts

As above /\

 

Can anyone recommend me a simple brake line bending tool, not too expensive.

 

Looked in Screwfix direct (don't think the ones in there are appropriate as more aimed at plumbing) and machine mart, but no idea what to get.

Well initially I'm looking at re-shaping a front drivers side brake pipe to replace a rear 1.9 one as it's roughly the same length, looks in very good condition, and saves me buying a new pipe!. I just don;t want to put a kink in it.

brake line is too thick walled to kink easily. I can suggest a motor factors about 10 mins away from you that would make you up a brake line.

The wooden handle for a brush for tight radii or a glass bottle.

There isn't one. Use your hands.
