Who can bend pipe for me?

At the end of the month I will be buying 8 mild steel 38mm OD 90deg bends. I was wondering if anyone on here can do me a quote?
Thanks

if it,s thinwall tube, you need special gear or else it will kink eh

Yeah and I don't wanna pay £550 for one. Thought someone on here might have the toolage, I wonder what it would cost to hire one....
The tube is for my exhaust so I guess 1mm wall should do fine.

i had a tripod type pipe bender (till somebody borrowed it :suspect: ), but it would only bend, eg, 20mm dia, 2mm wall, anything bigger or thinner will kink, without a £20,000 mandrel machine

I once heard sommat about 2 scaffold poles, wet sand and a bottle jack, I may give that a go

i used to work at a place called tube form tech in poole , as a trainee bender didnt stick it for long but the tubes are filled with resin so they dont buckle you could give them a ring and ask for a quote ask to speak to darren, rauel or rob they should be able to help you if you arrange ya own postage ) by the way there a bit mad lol

I got a quote for £65 delivered so will go for that I think

 

[nissanmicrak12]

That was some random seller on ebay, jetex wanted £7.50 a bend plus postage and these will have the right size legs on them
