I used tube bender last year emailed my plans for a rollcage and I got exactly what I wanted. also he was open to a bit of haggeling on the price. For
tube notching I Google tube notching templates and found a few sites where you print a wrap template for any combination you want, and all you need is
the trusty angle grinder.

Well I read somewhere (on here I think) that he could do the job for around £150, but I've had a quote for £480, now I don't actually
know what to expect to pay, but 3 times more than I'd read on here I wondered if anyone else did a similar job so that I could get several
quotes to compare

I made my rear hoop 7 years ago now, the 2" CDS was £60 delivered which included metal for the stays. I tried using a bender which kinked the
tube so found a local engineering place with a mandrel machine who charged £15 per bend.

Presuming this is just a rear roll bar,not a full roll cage? (Can't make head nor tail of the pics!)
Full cages seem to start from circa £600 so I would expect just a rear roll bar to be circa half the price?
The nice ones Playskool sell for the westfields fully coated are only £260,so if the above quote is for just supplying a flat pack roll bar it's
very expensive imo .
