We need to get a couple of hoops bent for a roll bar in our challenge car. One is an 1 3/4" tube for a main hoop and another is a 1 1/2" bar for a dash hoop. I am in Central Florida but willing to go to anyone that can help. Thanks in advance

I'm in Tampa and have sometimes access to one of these.  If you get desperate drop me a line

In reply to Mr_Asa :

I don't think that will bend the thin wall tubing for a roll bar without kinking. My understanding is that is for .250 wall pipe.

Thanks for the reply though

Its the bender that my FSAE team used to use for the complete frame for their Formula and Baja cars (before they started shipping off the dimensions to VR3 Engineering)

I may have grabbed the wrong part number, but I know it will work for what you want.

Great, I am getting my metal next week, so once I have pieces cut to bend I will make contact.

 

Thanks

Ok, I'll start asking around and see how available everything is right now.  Its build season for the team so we might have to play around their schedule.
