I got a perfectly working one at a garage sale today for 10 bucks.....Is there instructions somwhere or a site I can read off.....I most likly can put it to good use once I figure it out:confused:

1.Insert tube
2.Pump the cylinder up
3.Create a bend

I tried with a length of ss tubing, the piping colapsed

You always crack me up with your posts :gay:

you use the correct size die? should match the pipe diameter or it will collapse it.

Well, you really need to use a mandrel bender to bend the kind of tube your wanting to bend. You might try filling it with sand or the like and see if it helps.

:werd:

Fill your tube with sand before you bend it. The pressure it exerts back against the walls of the tube should prevent it collapsing.

Same concept as the Normal Force. Your feet press against the ground, and the ground presses back up against your feet.

just buy a mandrell bender at harbor freight...lol.

mxv is right. you need dies. like a 90* for 2", 45* for 2.25" so forth and so on. the tubie needs a path to follow while it's bending or you just collapse it.

Ey Sickest guy! hahaha Rican man... <3 the way you have your mind set on something and you're trying to get it done.... DIYer to the max! Great news.. i got the turbo n manifold togeather... i'm gonna re-order my emb wires from that site.. it didn't work out the first time for some strange reason

Yeah, kudos on going after something daunting, and kicking it in the balls.

+1 :pitlab:

Rican always makes me feel happy about life.

I'll give you $15.00 for it :)

Lol If you come and pick the heavy bitch up(80lbs) you can have it lol , But I'll try the sand thing when I get some more piping , Im going to the scrap yard to sell my failed attempts at bending lol , thanks for the tips guys , appreciate it maybe if I did it with mild steel It would be a lil easier duno, but hey If I learn to use the damn thing real good next I'll buy a mig welder and have at a roll cage lol,:bigtu:

omg this will lead to the most hilarious rant. I can't fucking wait :x:

hmmmm thats odd I did use the correct dies when trying to make 90's hmmm but they still collapsed....intresting Im doing somthing wrong and its going to be bugging the fluck out of me till I figure it out :)

:gay: you enjoy busting my balls don't you lol:pitlab: de de de:bowdown:
