brakeline benders

[STUMPY]

I've been trying to chase some down for a while and bought one at repco that bends large a radius, not as tight as the ones pictured below.

Does anyone know where i could pick some up??

Cheers Joel

I just use a piece of pipe thats the radius i need, wrap the hose around until you get the angle you need. Ive never kinked one using this method.

To answer your question however, have you tried blackwoods? Or, even though its x-mas holidays right now, a brake shop? They would know a supplier.

Use a piece of pipe and weld a piece of rod, ie a 5/16 bolt without thread where it contacts the brake pipe, across the end of the pipe then bent in a right angle down along the pipe with a gap to allow the brake pipe to fit between the bolt and the pipe.

As Gribble said, a brake shop is the obvious place to start. Next would be your local hydraulics place. If that fails try any of the better quality tool places. I know that Rigid made a very good unit with quite a tight radius. If you are making your own lines make sure that you use the correct flaring tool. A plain V, is the wrong one. (Or at least it used to be when I was in the workshop )

Just seen in this months Street Machine that rocket industries ase selling a tube bending tool for nitrous lines. I would say that it could be used for break lines aswell www.rocketind.com

That looks identical to the Record brand bender that I bought a few years ago.
I got mine from Gasweld in Granville but they don't appear to be open any longer. Maybe give Total Tools or Glenfords a try.
