This makes no sense to me

Gonna have to buy another one. Already ruined one. That's the whole point of this thread - to determine if the straight tubes I only seem to find are the right ones. If I recall correctly, the extra long one from the donor van had an "S" curve bent in it. I tried to duplicate it and messed up the tube. If I could see one installed, I could tell where and how much to bend it. Remember, once it is driven into the hole, it's going to be very tough to bend it smoothly. I want to bend it before installing it.
