What tubing size and wall thickness can you bend? Looks like it will be a fun scooter when done... Chris |

A couple of guys that I used to race with built it. They copied a Hossfeld bender http://www.hossfeldbender.com/ I copied the hydraulic setup from a race shop that had one. I need the hydraulics for the 1 3/4 tubing but I can bend the other by hand. I have built 3 racecars with it so far, it definitely paid itself off. For now I can bend 3/4, 1 and 1 3/4 inch tubing. I think the dies that I have can bend up to .120 wall tubing. Its a slow project and hope I can get it finished sometime soon. |
