Only IF the shop has a tubing bender AND they have the correct mandrel!  Dave, The poles are 1&1/4" (nominal size) sch. 40 pipe. If you do need to have them fabbed and can't find a fab shop with a bender, then an electrician with a heavy wall bender is an alternate. Also, if you have them fabbed, don't forget to drill a drain hole in the bottom. Even with caps on the tops, condensation will accumulate corroding out the inside relatively fast. ------------- /diaries/details.asp?ID=1622" rel="nofollow - 54 Atom /diaries/details.asp?ID=2179" rel="nofollow - 77 Tique 64 X55 Dunphy Keep it original, Pete < |

Just for clarification: You don't need the "Correct Mandrel". You need the"Correct Die" Most shops will have some sort of bender. Originals like my '78 do not have caps on top, but YES you will need drain holes. You know I'm a stickler for originality.  ------------- Keep it as original as YOU want it 1978 Mustang (modified) |

"An example of one type of mandrel is a shaped bar of metal next to, an item to be bent in a certain pattern. Exhaust pipes for automobiles are frequently bent using a mandrel during manufacture."  ------------- /diaries/details.asp?ID=1622" rel="nofollow - 54 Atom /diaries/details.asp?ID=2179" rel="nofollow - 77 Tique 64 X55 Dunphy Keep it original, Pete < |

We always called those "followers" whereas mandrels were pulled along the inside. Maybe we are both right. Below is a bender that will work also. http://www.harborfreight.com/12-ton-hydraulic-pipe-bender-32888.html" rel="nofollow - HF Bender ------------- Keep it as original as YOU want it 1978 Mustang (modified) |

I have a local shop that has made several sets for me. I took them an original to use as a template. The bottom curve is not 100% perfect but it is close. ------------- Scott Zuelzke Lake Mitchell , AL 1984 Ski Nautique 1972 Skier |

I have a hydraulic pipe bender. They will not make a quality 90 degree bend. 30 degrees max before it starts to get ugly. Best to have it done with a mandrel type tube bender. And the hydraulic type leaves dents in the tube from the stationary rollers. ------------- Keep it....from sinkin' |
