Mikey!! You're a gentleman and a scholar!! Many thanks for the plans on how to fab the pipe benders!! I appologise for the late reply have been uber busy. Many, many thanks once again and I look forward to starting this project Kind regards, Damo

Good advice there mickey. After I'd completed all the shaping of the pipe I let it thaw and blasted it out with an air line, then stuck it on the radiator to make sure it was completley dry. (Your absolutly right oil and water DON'T mix ) With regards to the PDF's, that would be awsome I'm an aircraft engineer by trade so know a few people in a few machine shops that can give me a hand if I get stuck I am very gratefull for your kind assistance. Best regards Damo

Hey guys love the site First post so go easy please LOL I was looking into buyin some pipe benders a couple of months back as my other halfs car needed the brake lines replacing on the back (common problem with Mondeos ) and came across this site (Linky !!!) however on the Mondy the lines are 3/16 diameter so in the end decided to fill the repair section with water and freeze over night before bending the following day and bending the pipe around items I had in my shed using clamps (right PITA ) Not sure if the link is of any use to you guys as I'm not sure what size the brake lines are on Landies!!! Don't want to sound too cheaky being my first post and all but mickeyw would it be possible If I could get some details off of you on how to construct the one you made. I'm liking that a lot and as mentioned earlier in the tread would be ideal for making the smaller bend radius's. Many thanks in advance Damo
