I'm gonna build on this a little bit.

I wouldn't consdider myself a great mechanic so to speak, but I can usually accomplish basic tasks fairly well, and with good results.

I bought a set of 32" wide T bar with 4 1/2" rise, thinking it would be a breeze. They were drilled for internal wireing, but I thought htat would be optional. Well it wasn't, and after a day and a half trying to install those BLLLEEEPPing things, I've went out and got Drag-bars (dimppled) with risers. Much, much easier in my opinion.


Anyway, I am now at the point where I don't know what to do with all this brak line! It's like, metal line with a few rubber bendy parts here and there. Is it safe to just bend the metal parts so as to get them out of the way?
