yeah the 38" stainless doesn't bend nice. I have several sets of benders. Yesterday I went and grabbed a 3/8" spring and a big bender with several dies. If I slide the spring on and use the bender, it seems to keep the integrity of the tubing wall. I tested it with a scrap of the line that I had from our first blunder.
That being said, $100 from summit or the other vendors, even with the exchange rate, seems like a better deal than screwing up another line.
