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.

I see your point TC.
I've decided the chances of the line being right are slim anyway. It'll only be straight if the pipe doesn't twist (at all) as it goes through the Kwix. Even the slightest rotation means you've got a wonky line.
