[FC] Brake Tubing Bending

[Bryan Blackwell]

Hiya Office :-)

I made a short radius tubing bender by stacking a fender washer, then 
the diameter's worth of regular washers, then another fender washer.  I 
cut a notch in the fender washers for the nut to fit in and clamped it 
in a vise.  With that I was able to bend lines which turned 90 degrees 
in less than an inch of distance from the MC.
