    I lost track thousands of dollars ago.
    Do it it's so much better I've done 102 bends in the last two hours and not a scratch on them :cool:

    this is the block that comes with the bender it just drags the tube across it scratching the hell out of it if there is one little thing on the tube. With the rollers they just roll along with the tube as it's being pulled through the bender.

    Sure 350 + shipping ;)

    It is probably the best mod I've done to the bender besides electric hydro I'll be making a few others for my other dies as well. I just need to polish the rollers to a mirror finish and it will be good they are leaving small tooling marks in the tube. Not even noticeable really but i can see them and bending stainless i want them spotless. Also Troy at SAWG was posting on Pirate about Delrin dies for the soft tubes i might be picking up some of those :cool:

    Yeah I was thinking the delrin would be great for bending aluminum.

    You make sure to clear those tubes with you seated in your seat with a helmet on? If not may want to consider. Looks good otherwise.

    I didnt put a helmet on but I had about 5" from the top of my head to the bars from where I want to sit. I'll make the seat lower if I have to but I thought that was better than sitting too high and not having a bar over my head at all. The 5" is sitting lower than stock but still high enough so nothing is blocking my view, I also sat like a gangster in my stock seats for about a week to make sure sitting that low wasnt going to bother me while driving :eek:

    And thanks
