What size tube bender do you guys recommend. I am about to bend the
brake lines and that looks to be 1/4. How about further down the line
for bending other lines.

You also need the 3/8" bender channel for the fuel lines.
Also, buy or borrow a GOOD QUALITY 37 degree flare tool.
There are a lot of crappy products out there.
Check out the posts on the Bonaco lines for brakes and fuel

..and if you've never seen the tool used to make a flare, have someone

demonstrate it. It was obvious to this builder.

Ditto on this post. I have a friend who replaced the entire fuel line
system in his L19. Then he found out about his crappy flare tool and
got to redo the whole system again. Couple days down the drain. A drop
or two of oil on the tool also helps. Also, make sure you have filed
and taken all the burrs off the end of the tube before you flare. The
burrs and chinks are the nidus to start a crack in the flare. I used
some fine scotch brite to polish the ends before flaring. Rise out the
tubing to get rid of any bugs/chips etc before final installation.
