Don,

I bought the 2 rear most pipes from  TRF for my 4 and although they are not 
pre-bent, I was able to bend them with ease using the pattern of the originals 
using a pipe bending tool I got at my FAPS.

on my 72 TR6 project, I had to replace all 3 rear pieces + the 2 front pieces 
and same process. Fittings are exact as original. And after bleeding, no runs, 
drips or errors on either car. Very satisfied with price and quality.

The only addition I made was to paint them with silver rust-oleum paint.

I use silicone fluid.

When bending remember same as when cutting lumber, measure twice and bend 
once!

Bob
