Tube bending

[Ext User(Scotty)]

My side steps have given up the ghost and I wanna make some new ones.
Identical to the old ones so all I need is someone to bend the tube for me,
anyone here know of anyone in SEQld that can bend tube other than trying a
few engineering companies?

All else fails I will price sending the old steps away for an extended visit
for someone to make em up for me.

Wonder if stainless would be worth doing? Aluminium boards on stainless, my
physics is a tad poor so any issues seen here?

Yup, found a guy today that will do it for beers, (I love that arrangement)
I have to remove (no biggie) and he will remake the damaged ones in mild
steel tube of same size etc. I then refit the running boards etc and its two
cartons of premium beer. Will take him about two months finding time when
hes quiet but hey I can wait.
