Looks tough mate.
Any reason you aren't bending the length rather than use so many small bits?

[the spambulance]

he may not have a tube bender or the appropriate dyes required

thanks mate, yeah, we dont have a bender and dies, they are just bought steam bends..

[Wooders]

Next time harrass me - I don't use mine as much as I'd like ;)

[lovemewrangler]

ahh now you tell me haha...

[Lorry]

i have been wanting to do something like this for a while but i have no means to bend the steel. all the elbows i have found are around $45 each.
where did u get yours and for how much.

cheers

[lovemewrangler]

45 each! holy hell...

any large steel shop should do them for max of about 8 bux a bend, i got mine through a mate through his work...

[RenegadeDom]

yeah I got mine from edcon steel, i think they were round $6 each

[Lorry]

42 mm (outside diamater)...... 50mm looked a bit too big...

[ian]

2 inch is too big.. 1-1/2 looks best i think..also that what my genright ones are.

[TOYROX]

Pipe is measured on the inside diameter. 2 inch is huge for fenders unless you are a Toyota driver.
1 1/2 + wall thickness x 2.
