Well it has to be a little over 180 for spring back. Other than that, maybe material needs to be there for a hole to pin the die? I don't have one in front of me so I can't tell if thats the case.Quote:

ill go check them out next time i need some material.
they only sell full pieces of material... I went to look there for work a couple of weeks ago. Didn't call them and see if they had tubing today. Kinda forgot about them, I'll call tommorow.Quote:

They'll also carry reject pipe if yall would need any for building fences and such. My prediction is that they won't have this "tube" you want. Last I went by there they didn't have much in stock, but they could have hauled alot in by now.
I drove by there all season. It looks like fence supply to me. Big yard, everything outside from what I could tell.
I deal with Pioneer in Waco all the time. They may be high on some things, but they support the 4-H/FFA kids in the county shows so I try to do business with them.
oh, and they would cut to length if you needed it, but its been a while
I was just busting your balls. :gigem:Quote:

When I get back on saturday I need to finish up a few things to hopefully make it to 47 on sunday.
Install gas tank and figure out a way to hold it quickly for 47. Possibly with ratchet straps if I don't have time to modify the metal straps.
-Weld yoke onto drive shaft.
-Install inner fenders.
-Replace rear u-joint
-Bolt bump stops
-Quick alignment
After 47 testing I'd like to get the hydro assist done. Also, need to get a solenoid for the winch and tidy up the wiring. Rocklights would be nice too, but not mandatory.
Edit: Opps forgot pictures. I finally used the bender for myself and had fun!
blingin. You gonna brace them? what's with the yellow? Find a can of spray paint on the side of the road? :D
yeah, when I get them mounted tommorow, I'll brace them from the top of the frame to the top of the hoop.Quote:

my "paint your truck by numbers kit" said shackles were supposed to be yellow...I might have been drinking at the time though
would you like to make another set of those hoops?
or 3 or 4 :D
