I helped a buddy build a family cage over the weekend. I added a front and rear family cage to his existing roll bar. It's not quite complete due to him having to leave unexpectedly, but we are close.
Tubing for exhaust and pipe are two different animals. I think you need a different mandrel for each.
I have a hydraulic pipe bender up to 3”. It crushes tubing.
That's the same design as what I was looking at from Eastwood Co.
Are you looking at this one? A lot of people use that design. I think they work well and can bend up to 2" tube. The only draw backs I saw for this was the 2" limit and it's manual. Being manual doesn't make it bad, it just takes longer to make a bend and its a lot of work, especially if you're making a lot of bends vs. the hydraulic models.
