Anyone know of a local (408/707/510/415/916 etc) shop that carries aluminum piping/tubing and mandrel bends? Need to make a custom discharge pipe. Putting my "homemade" discharge tube back together after every run last night got old really quick... [Frown]
Thanks!

Hey John we should be able to help out.

Our local disturbutor is right near our shop in UC.

What size dia. and what degree bend?

If you are interested i can show you what we do on our cars running 30+ psi as we run into this problem a lot on our type of cars [Wink]

We should have some in stock depending on the dia. but if not we can source that for you w/ in a day.

We are closed today but i'll be in the shop after regular work at lunch and then again at 6pm.

John,

If you want small quantities try metalcraftwarehouse.com in West Sac. The guys are great and you only pay for what you buy to the nearest inch. Not sure about aluminum bends though. Great metal supplier though.
