Lisle automotice tools makes a smal diameter tubing bender that
should work for you.  Available at most old timey auto parts stores
and not usually the chain stores.  Also somtimes found in farm and
feed stores like TSC or Mills Fleet Farm etc. or Theisens or Blaine's
Farm and Fleet.  NAPA might stock it  Or Car Quest.

YMMV
