Here are some captures of RB Wagner catalog on the right
bends to buy. This is the three inch radius stuff.
I think if you shop around you can get better
prices from RB Wagners distributors than you can direct from RB Wagner.

I checked and they don't appear to have .065 in stock. All they
stock apparently is sched 40 which according to the drawing is
.140 thick. When I measure it it is more like .125 thick.
We might be able to get a quantity buy of custom .065 wall if people are
interested.
Also we could specify a longer straight leg or even a jog at the end
for the fuel injector similar to this drawing of my Kis installation.
Save a lot of pipe welding. And be a bit lighter.
Anybody interested in pursuing this?

Depending on cost, I would be interested also. Are you talking about 1 piece
that goes from cast manifold to injector area?

Yes. One piece. One thing we have going for us is each manifold requires
4 pipes. That means it take forty bent pipes for ten manifolds.
That is a fair order for most benders so we should get the price
down to less than $10 to $15 a bend they are charging now for individual
bends. Also as I mentioned if you have to farm out the tig welding that too
would be a savings.
