OK.... Now we're on the same page. I agree the flex is easier to deal with, but like you. I like the crisp lines of properly bent solid tubing.
What size bender die would you need? 1.25"
I was thinking of stainless or aluminum and then either polishing the stainless or transparent powder coating on the aluminum
I'm sure we could sell some custom bent cooling lines along with a few roll bars here and there
