Cheapest place will be Harbor Freight. A bender and flare tool will run about $20 or less for both. Just get someextra tubing to do some trial runs. You may need to order flare fittings and nuts from Jegs or Summit, or get lucky and have a good local speed shop for that.
Good luck! It's actually fun bending the lines, you will see.

www.ksmetals.com sells a $2.67 tubing bender kit #321 (size range 1/16 to 3/16). The kit is designed for brass, aluminum, and copper, but harder materials can be bent by heating before bending. I found my K&S tube bender kit at Hobby Lobby.

Most all hardware and hobby stores have K&S metals on display. Your plastic lines and fittings can be found at most any auto parts store.

Actually you should go to your local Hi-Lo or Autozone and get 1/8" brake line, I use it and it works great. It bends easy and is very inexpensive. You can use the fittings that come on the line with your solinoids, they are 1/8" npt

You can always go to Home Depot and see what they have for brass tubing in the plumbing section. I used 1/8" from there along with a 90* elbow with a compresion fitting. I just bent mine by hand and then painted it but you should be able to get a small tube bender cheap at any autoparts stores.

You may not want copper tubng that bends too easily, it may actually kink or get smashed, then you'll have to redo everything. The brake line is only about $5.00 for a 6ft. piece.

Either way it will be ok..... The copper I had on my truck was there for about 5 months and never had a problem with it.

But like i said either way works....

You may be actually waisting nitrous with 1/4." You can get the same or even better purge plume with a 1/8" tubing, just by flaring the end. And, yes brass will work, but I have been dealing with nitrous installs for more then 13 years, and I've learned a few tricks to the trade, and I've seen too many purge systems with brass tubing run into trouble. Brass though inexpensive is very soft metel, and that means it will bend and kink very easily... Butu, that's my suggestion, and it's whatever works for you.. Just have fun what ever you do..

What is the advantage of hard lining the Purge? Is it just to make the set up be more permanent and last longer? Does it have any effect on the actualy purge size?

I might hard line mine as well???????????
