putting 10 to 20 degree bend in stainless
MikeR - 19/3/06 at 12:10 AM

Need to make a pipe to connect my manifold to my can. Needs about a 10 to 20 degree bend in 1.5mm 2" stainless.

Any suggestions how i do it?

Oxy acetylene with a big carburising flame and heat it till its cherry red, then bend it.

Or take it to an exhaust specialist and get it bent properly.

pack it with sand first if you are using oxy/acet or itll kink.
ive got a guide on sand bending somewhere if youre interested.

Buy a 2" swept elbow from a dairy pipe supplier and cut out what you need
