How did you guys bend your A/C line?

Okay my Novi2000 install is nearly complete, but I can't quite figure out how I'm gonna bend the A/C lines to clear the blower. It might have said something about it in the instructions, but I threw them away a while ago because they sucked so pathetically bad.

Anyway, I mean like a tubing bender that you'd use to bend brake lines and stuff would be waay too small wouldn't it? Also it seems like it'd be a little hard to get a tool in there, and I know you don't really want to have to disconnect the line and let moisture into the system.

So what did you guys do or what tool(s) did you use?

By the way my kit is the one for 94-95 GTs.

I just tweeked mine "gently" by hand until I had the clearance needed.

great. I was thinking about trying that, but I was a bit worried I'd either crack them or put a kink in them. THAT would SUCK!

I'll give that a shot.

Thanks!

No problem, just go easy and bend them a little at a time until you get just enough clearance.

hey man, thanks again. I bent them last night and it worked just fine. Damn that polished Novi looks good standing out in my all black engine bay!!!

It really wasn't too bad. I just went real slow, a little at a time until she dropped right in there. You know, I see Summit/Jeg's can custom make braided stainless A/C lines.................. nah I gotta buy a house someday!!
