    Try MerlinMotorsport at Castle Combe, they do an alloy tube bending service.

            I've found the thick walled variety on eBay before, they weren't cheap though!

            I could do with a couple of 90 degree bends for my intercooler, if you manage to locate them give me a shout pls.

                  Very sure if you ask him to get it he will be able to and make them for you, Depends if you want smooth 90deg or welded 90deg.....

                        SMS in Slough (01753 521870) do metal spinning, and would probably make tight bends for you by spinning up some half donuts - which obviously need welding together along the centreline, but it's a good way to get those tight bends in large diameters.

                          ATP do a variety of tubes and bends, they are in the US but they ship quickly and I have good service from them. CLICK HERE

                            What size tube would you need to create a 180 air intake bend from filter to maf similar to the Dahlback kit? Is this the sort of thing the above mentioned firms would do? Also, has anyone any idea what it would cost?
                            Cheers
