trying to build a pipe bender........ any idea where i can find parts???????????
I would like to bend some straight 2.5in. piping(mild steel or what not) to make my charge piping as well as exhaust. I'd like to make it similiar to a Mandrel Bender, in the way that i want nice smooth bends and not those stupid wrinkle bends like you'll find on the AutoZone exhaust pipe bend's. I'm trying to find the Radius Bender Die's as they are called, that you wrap the pipe around, as well as the pieces that bend the ends around the center die. I can make the whole rest of the contraption myself but if anyone know's where i can get these pieces and die, let me know.... and for cheap, this is HMT not spoiled rich kid's. I've been checking Ebay but haven't found anything......

dude. no even worth trying. your alot better off buying a harbor frieght pipe bender. its simple.. you jack up the jack. bends the pipe and your good to go..
you cant make anything near a mandrel bender...
that ---- is pneumatic. and no way in hell can you do that
this guy tried and he had a sweet setup.. but it just doesnt work

100 bucks on harbor frieght

the dies alone would prolly go for that much.
just go into your local exhaust shop on a not so busy day. or have premesured ----. theyll do it all in under an hour
ittl save you time. money. and the hassle.
