Funny thread.
It's bloody hard to replicate the exact bends of a solid line, well in the time you can spend on it working a dealership imo. If it's your own project you can spend as long as you want getting them 'just so'
If there are some tips to be had I'd be interested in learning.
How do you get perfect right angled bends without kinking the pipe?
Edit - ahh, just read this bit.

Check out the cage work on this chap's E36, looks trick.
His brake pipes look crap as mine would do too!
I once made all the lines on a mates Tiger kit car, a lot of them 'on show' , not hidden under the car, they looked ok, but I did spend fkin ages pissing around getting them 'right'
