Here's the other end of the left brake line

This was a piece of cake compared to the other end. You'll notice that I'm making gentle curves instead of the abrupt curves like the ones in the drawings. In my opinion, trying to make sharp turns only gets you in trouble. The more abrupt the turn, the flatter the tubing becomes, and maybe even a kink. The really weird part about this particular run is that I didn't use any kind of tool to make the bends. I found that making gentle small bends all along the tubing with my hands made the trip a lot easier, not having to wrestle with the tube bender spring and the tubing too. I'm not recommending that anyone do this, but it worked for me. Oh yeah! Notice the Facet Pump? It came in today.
