Their bender has worked great on MS and CM Tubing. call them and they will suggest a dealer to you or sell you what you need.

Some catalog companies such as Speedway Motors will sell you a roll bar kit. If you ask them they will send you a catalog for free.
A true race chassis uses mandrel bent tubing =- not something bent on a muffler bender or one of them hyd tubing benders.
Anytime you kink the tubing - you put a weak spot in the bar. A mandrel pipe bender rolls the tubing around a mandrel - a die if you will, that gives it a exact shape without distorting the tubing.
A roll cage - race chassis is not something where you want to skimp on materials.
www.speedwaymotors.com I believe that Smileys also sells Roll Cage kits also. www.smileysracing.com
