Wow, that's just amazing, never mind the land rovers, how many older transit vans, scaffold lorries, delivery trucks are used to run small business in London. Unbelievable, I hate London, but you can guarantee this will start to spread out to other counties and towns because local councils and government are to cowardly to actually take a sensible view on curbing emmisions. I swear for the last 10 years every sentence to come out of UK government begins with ban, fine, tax, charge or fee.... oh and terror (but that's a whole other story!!!).

Thanks Gav, I'll give them a bell Monday

I don't know if your still after pic's simon, but I've got an overdrive fitted to my LT95 2door. If it's any use your more than welcome to pop over with your tape measure, I'm only over in Horley. I can snap you some pic's this weekend if they would be useful. Thanks Ruu

good luck with the test, if you get stuck in the future I'm pretty close by too (horley). Thanks Ruu

Thats very, very kind Al, unfortunatly it would be a 2 year minium borrow due to my construction speeds, I'm probably going to be doing quite a few vehicles too, so it's always good to have you own tools to hand. Thanks again for the offer. Ruu

Hi Al, I've had a chat with them about it, and they recommened: 1 1/2" N.B.(48.4mm O.D.)90deg Std Former £101.75 plus the vat at that price I thought I'd double check first I didn't have the right former as there's only a few mm's in it. For my next question, anyone know where I might be able to get a former that size for less cost? or is that a reasonable price? Thanks again Ruu

dam, I thought that might be the case, new former it is. Thanks for your help Ruu

Hi all, I've been lurking for sometime now, some of you might remember me from other various forums. Just looking for some help with my tube bender. I bought a tublea bender off ebay ages ago with an incomplete set of formers with no sizes written on them. the largest has tubela 36 written on the side (casting number I'm told) it measures 44mm in the middle expanding to 46mm at the edges. I planning on bending a ton of 48mm blueband (can you guess why!!), does anyone know if this is the right former? I've only managed to get hold of galvanised pipe and this kinked, but I understand the galvanising process makes steel more brittle. scaffold seems to fit fine and bends with little deformation. Any help would be much appreciated. thanks Ruu
