Best place to get tubes bent in Glasgow
alistairolsen - 1/10/10 at 06:20 PM

I need to get some tubes bent for my roll cage. I'd like it to be MSA compliant and despite 50x2 being the lighter option Im temped on 45x2.5 because 50mm tube looks very heavy on top of a locost.

I need to source the tube and have it bent to some drawings unless I can find somewhere that can supply it prebent.

Anyone got any good ideas?

Cheers

Take them down the pub and wear a England Tshirt.

I know Simpsons, wasn't aware they did CDS though! How hard is it to make decent bends in roll cage tubing?

speak to welderman, he'll bend the steel for you (not sure about postage though).

Hi Alastair,

These guys are reasonably close, might be worth a shout.

speak to zilspeed
He is the fountian of knowledge on the west coast scene.
He knows all the top racers and will be able to tell you where they get it done.
Liam in wales has a pro bender.
The pipe bender wont do thin wall.
