I had tried to bend them by hand I didnt do the best job and I got them too long. But the reason why I wanted to get prebent ones was becuase the ones I put on wont stop leaking and I really dont want to have to bend new ones.

Perhaps you could buy the straight pipes and buy a pipe bender & flare nut set. I think you could buy both @ harbor freight or some other cheap tool place, buy the lines and do it yourself for alot less!! Just what I would do in your case!

if you have the time the easyist way is to take them out of a chevy or gmc van with a 700r4 in it you may have to make a few adjustments but there the same thats what i did they work just fine
