Does anyone have the tube bending formula, for bending rollcages? I've seen it posted somewhere, but can not find it anywhere. For the chassis builders out there, do you use the math, or just wing it when it comes to bending the main hoop?
Thanks.

Bend It is a free program that is used to calculate and layout the bend marks on a straight piece of tubing when fabricating roll bars and roll cages for race cars. http://midmoracing.com/bendit.htm

Check out pirate4x4.com/bendingtube101 simple explanation of how and why. Heck, I could even understand it.
I agree, very simple and easy to understand examples.

Can't thank you enough for the Pirate4x4 info. Just got done bending my main hoop for my RoadRunner, and it turned out better then planned. I'd be lost without that site. Now to tackle the frame rails, cage, and K member...
Thanks again.
Jeff
Glad I could help out.
it's ok to butt heads, just don't do it with a butthead
