I had been considering bending my own roll bar for the Roadster but reports of difficulties bending CDS (Cold Drawn Steel) tube has cautioned me. Even mild steel tube is not easy to bend well. I have found the CDS tube online but it's about £60 to £70 plus shipping which won't be cheap for a 5 Mtr length, so I had shelved the idea for now.
The other day I spotted an advert for a company called PP Cages, I hadn't hear about them before but since they are relatively local, near Skipton, I thought I would give them a try.
They use CNC benders and are more than happy to do a one off, bare hoop to any spec. So I asked them for a quote for a hoop with two 90º bends 955mm o/a wide and 900mm high. They have quoted me £48 plus VAT ex works. 2 - 3 days availability from order.
I haven't placed an order yet but they have been very helpful so far.
