Ive been having trouble finding mandrel bends for a good price so what do you guys think about these?
http://store.racing-solutions.org/bendkits.html

 

dont know what the usual price is for bends like that but the pricing looks good to me for what u get.

 

They have great prices, especially the kits for intercoolers.

 

those are amazing prices.

 

I have ordered from them many of times. They are a sponsor over at turbomustangs.com. Great guys to deal with.

 

Even I will say they have great pricing, this comes from a guy who sells bends also.

 

awesome everyone thanks!

 

best prices that i have seen online yet.

My prices are a bit lower, but like I said they do have great pricing, it's hard to beat.

 

Depending on how much you need, ebay can usually beat anything. As usual. I've bought many bends off of ebay, and never had an issue with quality or shipping. Its really the shipping that you have to watch for, ebay or otherwise.

 

Have purchased from both racing solutions and mazzuri (danielm3). I actually thought I recalled that racing solutions was cheaper, as they have that 99.00 stainless intercooler builder "kit" which gives you JUST enough versus buying excess.

I will say though, Mazzuri's bends were less distorted and the stainless appeared to be "nicer". The racing solutions bends were somewhat oval'd in sections and it makes a fusion weld more difficult to mock up because of having to work the pipe into consistent shape for a butt weld.

I have a big box load of Mazzuri's bends in my garage now.... If your prices (danielm3) are truly cheaper than racing solutions then I certainly will continue to get your bends without question.

 

I think they are also a sponsor on HMT.

 

prices are decent but shipping kills you...and it takes forever unless you get express shipping...that is...if you can afford express shipping...

Thanks for the kind words. You are right if you get the kits the you can save some more, when I said my pricing is cheaper I mean for just bends not kits.

I bought a lot of tooling, with which I will be able to bend mild and aluminum, when it comes in (a few more weeks) I will have all kind of deals and stuff.

HUH? Shipping wasn't bad at all and I got a big box full of 250 dollars worth of bends and it took about 5 working days from when I ordered for normal ground shipping.

 

All my shipments were done with the slower shipping, flat rate crap. I actually got them quickly though. Depends on how close they are.

If you can get aluminum bend up for good prices, I may be a customer later, assuming I they ever start teaching TIG in this class I'm in. So far its just theory and mig BS.

 

A couple of use did some searching for alumn. donuts a while ago and came up empty. 90 deg bends may be the only what to go. 16$ apiece adds up though......
