Title: 25mm tube
Post by: PhilW on 16, September, 2009, 08:38:55 AM
Has anyone got a bender that will bend 25mm 18swg tube, i need to make some lower wishbones, or any tube for that matter before i go and buy a bloody great length of it from Powells.

yep. quite sure the benders I have can do it. I've got a piece of scafold for extra leverage if you need  ;D

I do still have a piece of tubing left over from my wishbones. Though I used 19mm 16swg (as recomended in the book!) It's only 1800mm long but you're welcome to it.  ;D

Bri's bender worked OK on my rear 20mm 16swg tube rails, but be prepared for some serious 4-letter words on 25mm tube :D

Good job I gave it back to you at the last meet Bri? ;D

My that is one bender that gets around !

Well done Bri, I suspect Yella has some memories on this topic, hence the request.
