Bit of bending at MK
Hi,
Was at MK this morning getting some tubes bent and even though I'm not building an MK, it didn't make any difference.
Tubes bent spot on 1st time and exactly how I wanted them.
Great all round service...
Just though I'd share that with everyone.

I'd expect nothing less of MK (Engineering or Sportscars)... great blokes, great quality of work with good pricing to boot!
Do you have any pictures Pat?

Yep, nut it didn't come out too well.
It's the top and bottom tubes on the very rear of the tub.
Also using MK pedals and a few other bits.

Hi pat just thought i would show you a picture of what i did to make the full weld of my chasis easier I tacked some tabs on the front of my frame so
that I could attach it to an engine stand and a tab at the back to hold it to a tresle it was then posible to rotate the frame as I welded it up . I
" danced " arround the frame to avoid distortion as I welded it up . this worked a treat and also ment that I did not have to do welds at
difficult angles , worth considering any way .
best wishes

Iain, how did you make sure it stayed true whilst welding it like that?
