Brake line bending tool for tight radius bends where the fitting sits close to the bend. Hard to do with typical tools

Brake line bending tool that's designed mainly for the classic mini cooper front subframe nearside, where the line needs to perform a fairly tight bend very close to the fitting.
I found that most standard tools on the market have a very wide radius which won't replicate the original tight bend, and the smaller hand held tight radius tools all seem to not be made with a perfect ‘round radius’.. both ends of the bend are ‘stepped’ I find. You'll understand if you've ever used one from ebay.
This tool offers a nice tight bend radius, plus having recessed the 11mm hex of the fitting into the tool body it allows the bend to be made much closer to the fitting.
The tool is designed to work with a bench vice. Simply put the tool in the vice (not too tight) then slide your line in with the male fitting installed, and pull the line round the radius. Job done.
The tool was designed to accept standard 4.76mm brake line, its proved a nice snug fit for me and it doesn't get stuck. I drew the channel at 4.8mm to allow for tolerance which appears perfect. The hex is 11mm, with a 4.9mm shoulder. The bend radius is 22mm, inside to inside.
I've made these from PLA which works fine, it doesn't deform or crack when loaded. That said, the rougher ones among you may benefit from a stronger filament. Either that or be careful :)
Happy bending benders!
