Mandrell Tube Bender in Phoenix area??
I need to get some right angles bent in header tubing and need to find a shop with a Mandrell bender - don't want no kinks in the tubes. Would like to use about a 14 gauge tube - 1 3/4 inch OD that can be expanded to 2 inch OD for the slip joint on the sidepipes.
Any suggestions? Thanks! :cool: |
Neal do you need it in SS or steel... might be able to bend it up for you..I am on the other side of the world .. (Ma.)

Neal,
I'll ask around. The Hot Rod croud may know someone. I can check tuesday night at our get together. Mike |
Neal -- I know a master machinist up near the Deer Valley Airport. His name is Vernon Rich. I'm not sure if he does that kind of work -- but if he does, he's your man.
Did you ever see the PBS special where these guys went up to Greenland to try to bring back a WWII B-29? I believe it was called "Frozen in time". Here's a link to the transcipts http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/transcripts/2303b29.html They went up there -- spent MONTHS working on it -- flying in parts and such. Anyway they brought Vernon up there to MAKE the parts they couldn't buy or find anymore -- from scratch. Pretty awesome. FYI -- unfortunately, there was a fuel problem in the end and they were not able to bring the plane back. Made for a fantastic tv show though. If you're interested let me know and I'll look up his number tomorrow -- I don't have it here (I have it at my office). Ben P.S. -- And if he can't do it, I'm sure he could point you in the right direction... |
Neal, Give me a call we can help.
