ive been buiding bumpers for my s13 and using a speedway motors hydro bender (
3rd Generation Hydraulic Round Tubing Bender & 5 Die Set - Speedway Motors, America's Oldest Speed Shop).
it came with a bunch of different dies and seems to bend smaller pipe (1") no problem but when it came to the bumpers.. lets say it's good enough but not perfect for bending.
long story short, im using leftover bits of DOM 1 1/2" OD .95 pipe and no matter how much lube i use it is kinking in the bender.
what benders are you guys using? whats good and whats not worth messing with?
