Well I got the new line wound around the engine compartment by removing the driver side front wheel, the generator and the lower inner fender panel. I was able to get my tube bender inside and to bend the tubing around the shock absorber. The section that follows the curve of the rad was easy and done by hand. The only problem is still to get the line to bend sharply where it connects to the brass fitting. I crimped the line with the bender trying to make what is a sharp turn in the line. I still might have enough spare play to try this again and if not I may have to resort to a using another fitting to join the two. I have a tube end flaring tool that does the double flare and may be able to work it while under the car otherwise a compression fitting will do as well so I am pleased I have choices. I will keep you posted and thanks for the thoughts and opinions.
