Little late buddy.

 

I've still been searching and have not found much.

I have caught bits and pieces, but I'm still looking for some good info on turning a HF tubing bender into a mandrel bender.

Anyone have anything?

 

I just talked to a guy who used a HF tube bender to build a cage in a Ford Escort.

According to him he just bumped down the die size to the next size smaller and it worked fine. No filling any tube with sand, no modifying dies...nothing.

Interesting...

 

Info on what each type of bend is and how its made. Good read.

Anyone know if this would do what I need?

Anyone used or dealt with this company or the bender they sell?
