go to homers or lowes and go to bathdept buy some SS safety hand rails
already curved 1 piece will do both sides of intake cut to angle you want
cost 20 $ go to junk yard get piece of ss flat about 3$ weld and drill
some of them even have a dimpled non slip surface for the hose to secure to

Homebuilers are nothing if not ingenious and adaptable, so I bring this to youse. I need an idea.........I'm having a tough time trying to bend some 1-1/8 aluminum tubing to make the intakes on the Corvair heads. So far, I've fabricated the flanges, but bending the tubing into tight 90 degree curves has me stuck. My local muffler shops have tried, but without the exact size blocks, they can't get the bends right without crushing the bend somewhere. I've looked for conduit benders, but none are the right size. As a fallback I've thought about using a wall pipe from Ace Hardware's plumbing department, (pretty chrome) but it's thin wall brass, and likely to crack from the vibration. Any ideas? How'd everybody else do it?
Thanks,
Paul Rodriguez
