I have half in round 6061-T6 to make the tubes. How in the world do I bend the tubes as pictured on the JabiruUSA web site? All the tube benders I can find only bend up to 3 eights inch tubing.

Leave the tubes long during bending to give yourself something to grasp and then cut to length. The sand keeps them from collapsing. -- Craig From: owner-jabiruengine-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-jabiruengine-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of Jeff Sent: Monday, September 08, 2008 7:52 PM Subject: JabiruEngine-List: air plenum tube to direct air to the electronic ignition modules I'm at the point where I'm working on the fiberglass air plenums around the cylinders.

Jeff, Since I'm one of the owners of an older 3300 and don't know what JAB calls for now in innovative tubing bends, can only suggest you take your half-inch aluminum tubing to a friendly electrical firm, (the smaller the better might work) and ask them to work some contortions into your tubing with a conduit bender. Might be a way...jeff small ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Matronics Email List Services ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post A New Message jabiruengine-list@matronics.com UN/SUBSCRIBE http://www.matronics.com/subscription List FAQ http://www.matronics.com/FAQ/JabiruEngine-List.htm Web Forum Interface To Lists http://forums.matronics.com Matronics List Wiki http://wiki.matronics.com Full Archive Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search 7-Day List Browse http://www.matronics.com/browse/jabiruengine-list Browse Digests http://www.matronics.com/digest/jabiruengine-list Browse Other Lists http://www.matronics.com/browse Live Online Chat! http://www.matronics.com/chat Archive Downloading http://www.matronics.com/archives Photo Share http://www.matronics.com/photoshare Other Email Lists http://www.matronics.com/emaillists Contributions http://www.matronics.com/contribution ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These Email List Services are sponsored solely by Matronics and through the generous Contributions of its members.
