anybody got a 1.25" or 32mm OD pipe bending die for a hydraulic pipe bender (32mm OD not nominal bore) that I can borrow for a while?

Its not a size that's used much on car stuff but I need it for the lighter non safety critical bitrs of my grasser spaceframe, will be too heavy if I plan in much more 45mm!!!

probably, but theres no way i could get it out of the tool store in work, sorry

Nat, do you mean one of these? If so they're for 33mm OD, i think i've got one, i'll check and get back to you.

if a pipe one will work, David Irvine has some - and with him being in holland i'm sure a long term loan can be organised.

You can probably get away with one inch nominal bore formers, which are 33.4mm, get MikeR to nick Mr Irvines.

If not I might have one, but for a manual bender, not a hydraulic one. I'll look and see if I have any 312 MMA rods as well.




Had a look, I've got LOHIs and 316L rods but no 312.

Cheers Gazza, have got some 312mma rods sorted from work now, and just bought a handful of 312 tig rods from a chap on ebay (as they were £80 a pack didn't fancy getting a full tubeful!!)

Mike - can you speak to Dave and see if that is ok, that die will do the trick, would be great if he can spare it for a while!!!

cheers folks

Nat
