Ranma,
Mandrel bending hudraulic tubing can not be compared with bending aluminum pipe.
Heavy walled steel hydraulic tubing, is a far diffrent anminal, to work with, than 2.5" alumunum pipe.
Bending pipe, with the proper tooling and training, is a piece of cake. I have done it for 27 years.
I attempted to lead Awyman away from bending his own pipe, without affending.
Awyman, discuss you requirements with the people at Defined Autoworks. I suspect they will be able to build what you need.
