|
|
Has anyone any experience in using one of those 'cheap' pipe benders to bend 42mm 1 5/8" exhaust pipe or to be precise tube? I've watched various videos on line but still not sure about it. I've tried a few of the methods, filling with sand, using a die that's a bit tight and whilst they work to an extent aren't fool proof, or at least not for this fool....laugh please it's a joke. I wish to make a new exhaust with a couple of bends but so far no joy. Any help would be appreciated. I'm going to keep trying as I'm sure I'll master it before I run out of pipe.....or the will to live. |
