I can bend 3" stainless. Problem is the former for it is a grand and it's useless for anything else bar cosmetic cages

What sort of radius could you get?

I think it's like a 9" CLR.
You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him think.
 Experience only counts if you have the knowledge to use it.

That, plus the cost of the jig, will be why the guy who made mine bought the corners.

I mean that's fine for a cosmetic one, no good for anything structural really.

Imho, get someone with a tube bender to make a bespoke one for you. Not a pipe bender, as it will create flat spots on the bend radius. As has been said already, each body is different, seat angle, height of you sat in the seat, how level the floor pans are etc etc. Do it once and do it right. Where are you located, as someone may be able to recommend a local place?

Lee Southerton at Volksmagic does some amazing bespoke cage work and has all teh right tools for the job.

He is in Langley West Midlands (literally just off Junction 2 M5).

He made both of my cages, and yes that was ISOFIX on the silver one
