Post JD2 Hydro Conversion
Well in the next week or two I'll be buying a brand spanking new trick tools Jd2 tube bender. I am a college student, I live in a rent house, and I dont want to anchor it at my rent house for manual bends. Instead I wanted to fab up a simple cart and set the bender up with hydro. I talked to a friend of mine who does fab work for Shrockworks in Houston, and one of his buddies from work said that he set up his jd2 with the copperhead fab bracket kit. He said that kit took a decent amount of modification to make it work. Basically he said its a pile. Anyways I was looking for suggestions on which bracket kit would be best to slap on the HF air/hydro cylinder?

One my buddy fabbed up. It's pretty easy. I actually have the steel to do one for mine, just not the motivation.

That's a nice simple setup.
I wonder where I can find plans for something like that?

don't know about the plans, but I already have the pipe that would go around the cylinder. I'll measure the diameter.
