Hi there, life is a funny thing. I just did that job yesterday using my 20mm bender. You can borrow it if you want.
I live in Motherwell.

Any sparkies will have a 20mm bender try an industrial building site I'm sure they'd do it at tea break for you.
If it looks wrong it probably is wrong.

I cheated and cut up an old school chair !
Two nicely formed bends for free.

You can wrap the pipe tightly in paper and tape up to the bender dia you're using/have, I did that with my cooling pipes and it worked a
charm.

I just filled mine with sand, used a bit of heat and slowly bent it round. The hardest bit is making them the same

I just bashed mine around the rounded bit of my bench vice!
