hardline bending tools

[steverebo]

I'm going to be doing some hardline bending for my next build using primochill 13mm tubing. Does anyone know where I can get some cheap mandrels or a bending jig or have one they don't need anymore I can buy off them?

I've not got £40 - £80 just on tools

Get just the monsoon mandrels, if you have basic tools and common sense they are enough to get the job done well. Rigid tubing isn't cheap and it's not easy, expect to bin some tube or have it look half assed. I did sell a set of mandrels on here a few weeks back, you can always sell them after too.

I've done a small loop previously but did it free hand, it looked good but was literally just a few 90° bends between each component. This time I want to do it properly and the loop is a bit more complicated.

Being so expensive I was hoping I could find a cheap jig or set of mandrels the monsoon mandrels are still a bit expensive
