Billy,
The bar is tubing, not pipe. There is a big difference in the die sizes
for tube and pipe since tube is sized on the OD and pipe is sized by the
nominal ID. You probably wouldn't be able to fit it in the bender anyway
if there are other bends or mounting brackets. If one end is open you
can use the old backyard method of packing the tube tightly with dry
sand, and hammer a tight fitting plug in the end. Then if it's going
to be rechromed, you can use a torch to heat and straighten, or if not,
you could clamp it in soft jaws in a large vise and improvise a bending
bar for it, or straighten it in a press.
