You can set it alongside the remains of the rusted original and copy every bend and practically have the same thing as a factory line. Wire-brush the rust off the original fittings on a wheel, clean interior with a rattail file, and reuse them unless massively rusted. Get a good double-flaring tool to make the ends.
Also, Lisle makes a pair of tubing-bending pliers that makes the bending easy. The results aren't perfect, they mark the tubing a little and it kind of goes slightly oval on tight bends, but NiCopp won't kink or go flat on bends, which steel tube can. It's way easier to work with than steel and can be bent barehanded with almost as good results as with the pliers.
