But what if the pipe needs to be that shape? The front brake pipes have several adjacent non-planar bends, so the line really isn't going to help you position a bending tool on the pipe. I reckon my tape-it-to-the-original method is far more useful in getting all the bend planes and angles to match the original. Just my opinion of course and I might be misunderstanding what the line offers. So it'll be useful to get another perspective on it.
