Ordering the steel for my buggy.

I looked up on the JD2 site and it did not give reference to 4130.

want to bend 1 3/4" tube .120 wall.

I also don't want to write off my bender after 10 bends.

cheers bru

I know my model 4 hydro can do it no worries. Can't comment on manual model 3.

thanks fellas!

I only plan on making the lower sections out of .120 (where the suspension mounts) and will probably mitre it, just If i need to bend it I now know I can. I am going to limit the number of bends to keep the chassis stronger. Terrible herbst buggies have 7 bends from memory.
