HardTube Bending kit

[Cytoxan]

Can I use 16mm bending kit with 12mm hard tube. I bought the Thermaltake 16mm kit, but I plan on using 12mm tube...DOH!

The silicone tube, needs to be 12mm, you won't ever get a 16mm into it

[Cytoxan]

Yeah, that I do know, but will the mandrels still work? I know the OD will be larger, not sure what that would do to the bend.

[Denned]

It probably could, won't be perfect, but atleast you can use it to check the angles.

I just used the silicone tube, and bend them by guesstimating the angles.

I just don't want to return it and give Newegg a $9.00 restocking fee...bastards!

[Denned]

You'll be fine. It can be done without those tools with ease! Just make sure to have enough tubing

As Denned mentioned, you'll want a 12mm silicon insert, such as this one: http://www.performance-pcs.com/acrylic-tube-tools/alphacool-silicon-bending-insert-100cm-for-id-12mm-tubing-blue.html
