Brake line
I just put 4 new wheel cylinders on my 72 f100, the hard pre bent piece of brake line on the right front that goes from the rubber hose/bracket into the rear of the wheel cylinder wound up pinched. Does that have to be prebent hardline or can I replace it with something less expensive? No one seems to sell it indivudually and I need this thing to drive again.

It folded over on itself, if I try to re install it like it is it'll probably break. Its only maybe 6 inches long, I am woundering If I cant get a braided line made, I know they use it to replace the rubber lines but what about the hard line aswell?

Any parts store will have various lengths of brake line. You need to bend it yourself. Also they probably won't have the exact length and you will have to find someone with a double flaring tool to cut it to length and re-flare it.
