HOW do you bend brake lines...
without braking them?
I need to put my type r mc, bb, and prop valve, but the points at which the lines enter are different from the ones on my civic now. So how can i bend them or modify them in such a way so that i can fit them?

Get one of these from Sears, cost less then 5 bux, this is what I used for 90's but anything else you can do slowly by hand.
Edit, actually this whole page will probably help you.

i bent them with my hand.. slowly and carefully.. there are tools out there, but were too big to fit in the small area that I was working in.

You can buy lines, but they typically wont have the right metric flare fittings.
For the person that started this thread, I wouldn't bother trying to put an ITR prop valve on an EK, if that is what you are going to do. Just get an SI or EX prop valve.

Re: HOW do you bend brake lines... (tonyXcom)
it's on a EH, and if i change the prop valve, i will have to change the mc and bb because of the way it was designed. I would much rather stick to what i have and use my itr parts, anybody have more info or experience on this.
