    38mm exhaust bends

    Does anyone have a contact for cheaper mild-steel exhaust mandrel-bends? 38mm 45's and 90's required in 2mm wall thickness preferred, for bike exhaust project.

    "shitty" condition considered if they are cheap or free, but don't want basket case stuff.

    Many thanks,
    Steve

    Yeah I saw them on the web, but they will be top dollar for sure.

    I'm hoping to find someone with a box of them under the bench.

    Yeah they do look impressive with all their mandrel bending gear. I'd rather TIG it together in my back yard, or tack it and get someone to pulse weld it.
