The idea is to start with brackets and landing gear weldment INSTALLED, along with the nylon snap-in bushings. You start by feeding the tubing from the center of the fuse to the outboard (it will need a slight curve). Feed it thru one of the holes in the weldment. Put a spring bender on it and bend it as needed as you feed it.
I tried it and got close but no go. Perhaps with stronger hands or using the middle hole in the weldment instead of the lower hole it would work (I used the middle hole for the brake line). Anyway I did get close with the soft tubing supplied by Vans. I removed it and used it as a model to bend the stiffer but much stronger 5052 tubing I got from Sac Skyranch or Aircraft Spruce. Major bends are done, next will install all nylon bushings, rubber bushings, etc and make final bends.
