Bend-a-Tractor - Tube-bending protractor
We created this cool new tool to make it easier to fabricate custom-bent tubes for roll bars, roll cages, tube bumpers, and more! Use the Bend-a-Tractor to mock-up your tubing bend angles to get a roll bar as tight to the roof as possible. Works great on its own to transfer measurements and replicate bend angles for custom one-off tubes or use it with the 911 Motorsports Tube Jig Roll Cage and Chassis Design system for larger projects that require the tightest fitment.
The Bend-a-Tractor includes removable extensions, the short setup works from 40-100°, then add extensions for up to 180° bends. This design also limits the amount of overhang on the inside of the tool, which allows you to set up really tight tubes on the outside of the vehicle for an exo-cage. The short setup makes it easy to get the tightest roll-cage main-hoops possible. The 180° setup also works great for mocking-up shock hoops and bumper stingers.
These are the actual tube size listed, with the matching Center Line Radius. We recommend ordering what matches your tube die; however when bending material with a lot of spring-back, it would be ideal to match your final tube. To find your spring-back: bend a 180° bend, then measure the O.D. of bend using a couple squares on each side. Then use this formula... O.D. - Tube Size / 2 = Actual C.L.R.
- Includes one full setup to mock up bends up to 180° and attach to our Tube Jig using 5" long ends.
- Has quick adjust "cross bolts" for locking down the angle and built in stops to prevent over-extension.
- The cross bolt knobs are removable to use for setup and tube marking.
- Degree numbers let you quickly reference your angle.
- Designed to work with the 911 Motorsports Tube Jig
