Lonnie, I used a $10 tubing bender from Summit racing. It's a simple device and makes tight bends in 1/4", 5/16" and 3/8" tubing and can get the bends very close to the fitting.
If you'd like to see pictures of how tight the bends can be made, I'd be glad to email you a couple. I've use it for gasoline, brake and transmission cooler hard lines. I don't know how to post pictures here (no computer skills). My email is
