Yeah it was a good brushed up against a tree so have a few scares now, hopefully the cage will prevent that.

Iv started it so I will have both sat and sunday on it, I will do a few pics tomorrow!

its got formers for 20mm, iv bent 30mm ok by packing the tube with sand and taping the ends.
iv had to fill all my tubes with sand tho to get a good bend

i did have to pack the formers for a tight fit.

Have you tried the springs that plumbers use? It stops the kinks.

iv never tried them, i use kiln dried sand and keep tapping it down.

would i get away with using 44 mm pipe like the roll cage for a snorkel, or is it to small and starve the engine?
