 I drove by the place I bought my bends over 10 years ago. The shop is
 now gone. I expect that any large city or area which has boiler or oil
 field equipment should have a supply shop for repairs. a internet search
 should also locate a supplier. These bends are quite tight and will make
 manufacturing an exhaust system very simple. Sorry I can not be of more
 help.

   Famillion NW in Portland OR has them and I am sure they could send
them out to you where ever you are.
