How much of a bend do you need?

Within the last couple of years AV8 wrote an article and posted it to the HAMB on using dry sand and a torch to bend tubing.

In it he stated the Fuller, the dragster chassis guy has always bent tubing with this method.

Might be worth the trouble to search for it.

If ya don't use the smaller dies, could you clamp them together and bore em out?

Or maybe swap some tube bending for a little machine work and have somebody make some dies for you?

It's a shame the parts are so long...If they were shorter you could give them to Sue to replace her rolling pin for about a week...Keepin'
