Hi, all..
It's time to start thinking about mounting the Verner on Bullet. I'd like to have a 14 inch diameter 1 inch tube as the main piece. I can't find anyone locally that is equipped to do that. Does anyone know where I can get it done?
TIA

Hello Chuck,
Many of the shops had the 3 roll plate roller than had notches for rounds (although most were for solid rounds) and I don't know if any had notches for up to 1" But certainly has been done. Without these notches the tube flattens quickly. I have rolled 1000's of feet of tube, but never with the intention of still having round tube at the end.
Some of the small tube job shops can do (could) 8 sides or 6 sided tube circle. If that is something you would be interested in, all I would need is your centerline distance and radius for the corner bends, then I could draw in a heart beat. in this case 13.5" is the first answer if you wanted 14" od.
Hope that was not to confusing.

Well, sure.. I could weld up something. What I'd like to have is something like this, though..

I built this back in the day, but the project came with the engine mount tube already formed. The guy that did it has shuffled off this mortal coil :) but he had several formed tubes already done. I thought it would be no problem to find a shop that does this, but so far.. nada.

Excellent, I will make a contact or two. I used to some complex jigging, and that one would certainly one of those "hold it right here" type of jigs. Certainly do-able Stay tuned!

Thanks, Scott. I *assumed* it would be like a ring roller, only for tubing instead of flat stock?
