David-

The OTC model Dennis is talking about is 6504. When I bought mine
they were going for around 50.00 with shipping and I know VW, and
SAAB both use this type and the unit comes with a few size fitting
for most popular European brand.  This kit does not come with a
bender something I hadn't thought about! but is needed. This kit will
just do the ends. I'm sure OTC also sells a bender, I ended up using
a friends.

OK... where do I get one of these?  Do all VWs use this
fitting?  This is really for my Unimog 406 axle project on my LT, but
from time to time when I make some Syncro 16 rear trailing arms, I would
like to have the ability to make the longer brake lines for the rear of
the T3
