Moss Motors is now carrying tube benders. I have not checked into them
to see if they are good value compared to other sources. The tools I
have seen, seem to be of suitable quality to do the job. They are
advertised in the new issue of Moss Motoring. Part #s 385-885 small and
385-895 large.

I know which side my bread is buttered on, but MG's are still my
love and hobby.

Dan,
Don't take a chance bending steel tubing (or any other for that
matter)
by hand. It is just too easy to crimp the tube. Plus the fact you can
never really get the bend right.
Tubing benders are cheap, even for good ones, and they will pay for
themselves in the tubing you don't mess up.
