[FC] Brake Tubing Bending

[Keith Hammett]

Not sure that I would want to use sand in a brake line.  You can get a
spring like "filler" to put in the brake line and bend (I know that they
have it in the plumbing industry).  Looks like a coil spring with no
spaces.

I've bent tubing for other projects. One technique is to fill the tubing
with 
sand so it won't collapse when you bend a tight radius. You can always
heat 
it up to get it a little more pliable, too. I've only done this with
copper, so 
your results might vary.
