Default I've called a bunch of local places. All have said 3" is the largest they can handle.

Still looking for one that can handle larger diameter "tubing"

Default buy 45degree, then cut and weld...

thats how i get all my angles, i buy U bends or 90 bends, then i measure the angle i want, such as 20degree, i cut it on band saw or sometimes u can manage on chop saw, then weld a straight piece to get the angle you want... so something to cut and something to weld.. see if anyone has that.

Default Buy a straight section of tubing and a 45 .. cut the 45 at 37 and weld the straight leg (cut to

appropriate length) to the end of the angle. Not as ideal as a single mandrel bend but .....

Default

Probably going to have to do that. PITA, though... all I need is a short section (~8").

Default Yes it's a bit of a PITA . I have a local exhaust/tire shop that does this sort of thing for me. It

isn't all that big a hassle. They can usually do the work while I wait.
