59mm bending spring (bit of a long shot)

59mm bending spring (long shot anyone got a clue where i can get one, must be a bending spring not a "pipe bender" can anyone make me one around 1m long with a od 57-59mm please
bit of a long shot but i was thinking if anyone could find one or make one they could be on here.
i can get a pipe-viper from the usa but tis just a bit big at 60mm.
what im looking for is the same as the internal spring you use to bend plumbers 15mm 22mm pipe .
its for bending pvc pipe with a heat gun.

Try filling it with sand, compact it well, and take it nice and SLOW

Tou shouldnt need a heat gun for anything other than to make it easier. Electrical conduit is bent with a spring as well, without heat. 57mm is a bit big mind, so the heat might make it a bit easier.
