July 14, 2004: The header tubes were bent up yesterday.
They still need some modification of course - some of my bends are too close together or too tight to be done without some cutting and welding. Once I had a close look at the tubes, of course, I've started rethinking my decision about mandrel bends. They're not all that complex with only three bends per tube. Maybe I will put my own together out of U bends after all. I'll do some measuring tonight to determine how many I'll need. I've been receiving lots of tips, links to websites and suggestions from folks looking at the site as well - thanks!
