Got the last brake tube bent, but when I tried to fill my MC, brake fluid literally poured out of one junction. Turned out the T fitting I'd bought was actually for a pipe thread, not a double flare. Someone had put it in the wrong bin and I never bothered to look inside it to verify. What a mess all over garage floor, my frame, wheels, suspension, etc, plus now I'll have to re-bleed my MC. Bright side is that the lines came out pretty good. The parts store only had the last one in green finish, so I painted it flat silver to match the rest.
