Madcowz Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 Hi, I was given a Hilmor Pipe Bender last week and it all looks ok except that I can't see how the tube is held while it is being bent and I think a bit is missing. Can anyone upload a picture of what is missing please? I think there should be something attached to the rectangle block with 3 holes in it. thanks.

integerspin Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 Mine is sort of like the thing in the picture but I think it has two radi in the ali[haven't used it for a while], and it's a tight fit in the bit of metal with holes and just needs knocking in. I could probably reach in past the ****e and grab it and photograph it if you really want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madcowz Posted August 17, 2009 Author Share Posted August 17, 2009 this is what you need http://cgi.ebay.co.u...id=p3286.c0.m14 Good lord that is expensive! Think it's time to make one out of some rusty metal I have lying about. I also notice that spare formers are expensive for this as well. Quite a pricy bit of kit :-( Thanks for the replies.

bishbosh Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 Out of interest, what are you going to use it for? From what I have been told it isn't man enough for roll cage tubing. Just curious, that's all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just curious, that's all It will mostly be used for making bendy pipes for either garden sculpture things or if I can get a small enough former that doesn't cost a fortune, plumbing pipes. I'm not into making roll cages as the wife said "if I had one I would roll the car" and she won't allow that. hurumph. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
