Thank you Paul.
Randy. They are not the same. Panther x is narrower from ctr to ctr. Also the stubs that go into the main frame rails are different diameter. I have a panther x bumper with excellent chrome if your interested.

The fronts are the same but not the rear.
Skip what is the radius you are using on the rear? I have a rear that is pretty pitted and needs replaced but the bends on mine look tighter than yours. It could be just the photo also.

The Bandito bumper is a 4" radius. Didn't realize that until I committed to making them. Oh well, dies are only $300 :-( Panther x and Pro x are 3" radius which I have.

Only $300 is right. 

Skipp, I tried to buy a tube bender once. The bender I could afford but the price on the dies are ridiculous especially since you would need at least a dozen or more to cover just some of the more popular karts out there. Needless to say I don't own one.
