Thread: Roll Cage

Tweet

Hwoorrell;
Are you saying this will work for my cage or it won't.
I don't mind spending extra time with it,
I just don't have the money right now.
So I will have to put it on hold if it's not going to work.
Thanks Kurt

Sorry I didn't make it clear, But no I don't think your pipe bender will work,
How ever, (ands theres always a how ever.)
Watching some of the you tube videos from the link in this thread,they where making it work with some nice bends by filling the tubing with wet sand. Looked like a slow,slow process but if your like me,ya got more time than money. Soooooooo I say fill a piece of tube with sand and try it,all ya got to loose is some time and a piece of tubing. I have bent 1 inch stainless tubing for nerf bars with one of those pipe benders because I didn't have a 1 inch die for my tubing bender. What ya gotta relize is pipe is measured I.D. and tubing is measured O.D. So your pipe bender 2 inch die is bigger than a 2 inch tubing die. what I did was use a piece of .060 ??? aluminum sheet cut a little longer and wider than the ram die wich on the first bend formed a nice tight die shim wich helped a bunch.....
