cast aluminium elbows, where from?
Craigorypeck - 19/9/11 at 08:30 PM

Hi. Where can I find 2.5" cast aluminium elbows? I need a sharp radius bend on my DIY supercharger intake plate... All the ones I'm finding are all intercooler piping that have too large a radius and very thin walls, no good for my job.

Found what I'm after on US ebay as an example..

Cheers again!

Does it have to be cast aluminium?

How about ABS?

The charger is gonna be hot side and the elbow will be close to the manifold... Thanks for link tho, might be helpful elsewhere!

What about stainless steel, the tube will be thinner wall so the weight difference will probably even out.
Something like http://www.completestainless.ltd.uk/page/hygienic_elbows though there are plenty of suppliers of hygienic tube - might find somewhere local that will sell cosmetically imperfect ones for a contribution to the tea fund.

I have an aluminium adaptor plate laser cut so I'd need to stick with that,.
