Is it necessary to heat the brass stuffing tube whe you`re ready to bend it?
or just use a tubing bender?

RE: stuffing tube
Old trick to bend anything, without collapsing or flattening the tube. Put several wraps of any tape over one end of the pipe. Then slowely dribble in about 2 " of sand. Tap the pipe on a table to compact the sand inside. Do that till filled. Tape end shut. Bend it. I have never had soft Aluminum collapse or flatten.

RE: stuffing tube
hands and thumbs.... ive never used anything other then that to bend my stuffing tubes. Put the cable in the tube, support the tube in the area you are wanting to bend with your 2 thumbs sticking out...and bend slowly.
