Aluminium tube bending

Post by bryan5373 » Wed Apr 09, 2025 9:57 am

Hi,
Does anyone know someone or a company that has experience with successfully bending T6 aluminium tubes? (willing to take it on)

I have tried a few local engineering company's but they are either very reluctant or unable to do it!

I just need two 1" tubes bent about 30 degrees (like a bow) for the tail section, I am willing to travel further afield to get this done.

Thanks
Bryan Plunkett

Have you tried Googling: "custom made car exhaust systems"?
They may have suitable tube bending equipment...
