    Flatten some regular tube.
    I've never seen that flat type stuff for sale.

    Lots of places in the USA do it, oval straight and mandrel bends, common there. But don't remember anyone ever here doing it, aside from ripoff prices as they just import it from the USA.

    I believe marc has just bought some for his bn jzx110, have a look on his build thread pretty sure it says where he got it.

    Parts shop MAX do it. it's not cheap, just get a press and slide a solid square bar in the middle and squish, Not the neatest but the cheapest. You cant run a flange though but you can squish bends too, just a bit fiddley.
