Tube Bending...
Can anyone recommend a firm who can draw-bend tube with a quick turn-around capability?
PS - Just to make sure I have this right... draw-bending is the neatest way... or is it!?
Ta!

Good grief... 15 minutes and 14 views and no-one has an answer for me yet!?
Pah... when I were a lad, I would have had 74 answers by now and 20 offers to do the job.
I can remember when all this was fields you know...

What are you looking to do Scootz ?
Don't say "bend tubes", 'cause I'll just have to call you names.
What's the job ?

Crikey... you've not left me with much left to explain Zil! 
I want to bent a roll-bar for a single-seater along with two smaller hoops for the cockpit bulkhead and footwell. They will all be on display, so the
bends must be pretty!

To answer an earlier question...
Why yes, yes he does. The gentleman can also get "bends" in at good prices too!
