Time To Bend Some Tubing

And I've never done it.

Right now I have too much rubber fuel line going to the transmission cooler and carburetor and they're getting old and brittle...not good.

Also it's a tight squeeze to get the rubber trans. lines through the radiator support to the cooler, so it's time to route metal lines with grommets for peace of mind.

I've heard that you can bend metal coat hanger wire as a template and try to copy that with tubing.

I can live with small pieces of rubber line to connect the metal ones but not this much.

Going to buy the tools as they're not too costly.

If you have any helpful hints or ideas it would be appreciated.

ETA:...yea I know it's filthy...spring cleaning project. HA!
