Default Bending FI lines from spider

SS lines from spider to injectors.

Are these lines just bent by hand? Probably a stupid question, but don't want to mess these beautiful lines up.

Thanks,

Dave

Default Nozzle lines

Yes you can typically bend them by hand. If you have a fairly tight bend say near the injector nozzle use a 1" socket to bend the line around, unless you have a small 1/8" tube bender which works good also. Lycoming SB 342B calls out a .62 R minimum and a straight section from the end of the cone to the start of the radius of .69. Hope that helps.
