Thrasher:
AFAIK it's got something to do with what happens to scaffolding when you bend it... hence you only see straight poles :roll:

I'm sure someone with more knowledge of metallurgy will pop along soon  :)

It's because scaffold tube is seamed. It's cheaper to produce that way but if bent the seam can split  :cry:

Can you buy the dies for that thing seperately?, or what are you using for the die on yours?

jjsaul:
pipe benders work better if you 'clamp' the tube on both edges of the bend...so i've been told by a bloke who does it for a living.

i'm not a fan of scaffold tube cages hence im getting a proper one made, however as mick points out...it is definately better than nothing!

Betty Boo!:
Thanks to Mike for helping me Dad swap the engine, lift kit etc over.

I like my new toy and cant wait to take it off roading and get it muddy - it's to clean!!

Thanks again

Becky
