Hi Dave,  Do you have the link to the 3 wheel replicas group? I couldn't find it. as I am building a 3 wheeled car, I'd be interested. thanks, Trey --- On Fri, 12/26/08, Dave Allen <klaus756@charter.net> wrote: From: Dave Allen <klaus756@charter.net> Subject: Re: [homebuiltcars] HF tubing roller review To: homebuiltcars@yahoogroups.com Date: Friday, December 26, 2008, 5:19 PM Hi John. I have a Pro Tools bender that works very well. The dies are outrageous, but that seems common to all benders. Another good source is Low Buck tools (google them). Have you seen the pic's of the Messersmitt Spelling, sorry) streamliner on the 3 wheel replicas group site? Very nice especially when you consider he has only been building a short time. Cheers.

I think there are probably members here that would be interested in this review. I have been eyeing up the Harbor freight tubing bender (not the infamous pipe kinker) since it first appeared on their website but had held off as the dies were too small. .5" .75 and 1". Well it seems they are mislabelled as the dies are actually 1", 1.5" and 2" diameter tubing dies. This wouldn't work real well for the tight radius bends, but is definitely a good starting place for some of the large smooth bends that may be more common in a CS. Here is a review I found today through my dune buggy forums. http://www.pirate4x 4.com/forum/ showthread. php?t=737981
