Broken remote help

[browncountyoh]

The remote has broke in two pieces away from the mounting bolts. The hydraulic lines have been stretched, but are still in great shape. I have tried to push remote back into place, but cannot even move it at all. I am going to take the remote off along with the pieces that are still with the mounting bolts and braze weld them back to the remote mounting block. Any advice on how I could get the lines back to the original shape without kinking or damaging them. I have included an attach. I hope I have explained the problem well enough to understand, if not please let me know Any advice is appreciated!

Thanks!

If by "stretched", you mean the bends have been straightened, you could try a cheap set of tubing benders from a plumbing supply or Home Depot. It consists of various sized coil springs that you can slip over the tubing and bend without kinking.

Thank you Norm. I will give that a try.
