Do not even have to use a bender with nicop tube, it is very easy to work with if you have working man hands.
Nice work on everything, and great idea. I'm taking the easy way out, ready made brake lines.

Yeah I "dumped them". Just a few bolts, U-nuts and such. Not many. That plate came out nice BTW. One to go and I'll share a pic.
