I have searched around for the type of tubing benders being discussed here but they are all for making much tighter radius bends. I don't know if this type of tool is what you'd use for the wide radius bend or not. Thanks.

Most Fab Shops these days are using CNC tubing benders for accuracy and repeatibilty.I bet you can find one near you that will more than willing to help you.
