As I'm a poor over taxed southerner and it doesn't look that difficult to make a hoop set
out of 15mm Galvanized steel pipe or electrical conduit.
And I would rather spend the £250 issh pounds that some online stores
want to charge for a stick set on a good set of pipe benders instead.


Does anyone have any measurements and has anyone made a set?
 
Nope i would publish the instructions just to under cut the money grabbing so and so's who think i will pay 250 for 20 quids worth of pipe.
The other reason is if i buy a set i learn nothing and if i make a set i learn somthing plus a nice set of pipe benders to boot.

I guess thats one more thing off the list.
Thats taken £12.99 off the £250 hood set budget.:D
 
i think youll find its taken about 220 quid off the budget!
(assuming you can nick a few lengths of gas pipe?).
:)
 
Or I just wonder around to my plumber mate and bowwow his set as he owes me a favor after I rebuilt his pc.
But what I need is a set of measurements or Patten to work to (Help please!).
Or
If anyone around the Fleet / Camberley area has a set for a SWB (Full 88) that I can bowwow for a hour or two ?
 
bloody hell, aldershot is next door. the army has thousands of em.

try the ranges at church crookham, bet they have loads just laying around!
 
You've got yer landy outside use that and the hood as a patern. I shall make a set for mine when I can get hold of the tubing for free, at the moment I can only get 1/2" iron, a bit on the heavy side but would make a good roll cage!

That's the tool, sod the little ones with that I could make a roll bar come hoop set.
I might even have to pop around to my local scaffolder and see if he has any pc problems.
 
all you need is a few lengths of proper conduit and an heavy duty plummers pipe bender, then just bend the pipe to the correct angles, when it comes to the cross pieces, you will need an anvil and big ammer to flatten the tube for the bolt holes. the only problem you will haveis that yours will have a flat top instead of an arced one ;)

first thing you do is make some extension poles to fit the handles. then my grandaughter could bend em.

as some peep said once, give me a big enough lever and ill move the earth.

or summat like that anyways.
