Looking for a local JD2 die for 1 or 1.125 tube that I can borrow for a day or 2 to make a handful of bends. My buddy wants me to put a 5 point in his kids go-cart and I'd rather not buy a die for the small project.

If anybody has one and is willing to lend it, I'll even leave you with the cash to buy a new one as a deposit should I damage it.

Thanks, but it would be way too big for the little cart.

1.125 would be a little large but still look ok. The rest of it is 1" so I'm hoping to keep it with that. I'll give it a few days to see if anybody else speaks up and probably end up ordering one.

It is just a crappy little go cart but I feel like working on something and don't have any $ to into my own stuff right now. It will give me something to do.

Thanks for the die! It was a very small project, but my friend's kid is going to love the new cart.

It was originally just a U shaped frame. I added the side bars, and everything above the frame. All he wanted me to add was a 4 point harness to keep his kid in, but I wasn't crazy about strapping him down without a roll bar.

I fixed a bunch of other crap on it too, changed the steering over to rod ends, and added the 'custom' blocks so he can reach the pedals.
