28mm copper pipe semicircular shape
Thinking about it , copper pipe , if u or u know a wood turner, three wooden rollers would work mounted on say 12mm shank bolts through a piece of 18mm birch ply with the centre one through a slot

Sorry Chippo1, you are a bit late..............
Above are my opinions Below is my signature.
Would you hit a nail with a shoe because you don't have a hammer? of course not, then why work on anything electrical without a means of testing Click Here to buy a "tester" just because it works, does NOT mean it is safe.
If gloom had a voice, it would be me.

I know you need three rollers and make a rig with metals,welding, parts ...etc, all heavy duty which cost money not worth it for one off so found a metal fabricator with cnc accuracy.Chippo1 wrote: ↑Tue Jul 21, 2020 2:44 pm What you want ideally is three decent rollers/wheels with a concave face to the tyre. Mount them on a bit of steel plate with the middle one adjustable . Pass the pipe through and keep adjusting middle roller until u achieve a nice smooth radius , a bit like an “English Wheel”
Or find a local fabricator with a set of rollers. Shame really not long ago I threw out some old Express lift door rollers would have been ideal nice bearings to
