What corners? Do you have a square Boler or an egg Boler?
I'd CALL
Scamp. Doubtful they'd sell anything that was next to impossible to mount without kinking. They must send directions of some sort. Perhaps they'd recommend using a pipe bender or a bender for conduit. That's easy. And you can rent those if you have a tool rental place. I bought a pipe bender for copper at Lowes several years back. It was less than $25.
I agree the smooth look is cool. But I can imagine (for myself), I'd end up with a lot more work and maybe problems than going the original belly band route.
OR... just take the belly band off completely. Check for holes, etc. and plug those. Then
paint the entire belly band area with a contrasting
paint... maybe to match your tug???? It could look very nice without ALL the work of grinding, smoothing, etc.
Best of luck, please post pictures, etc.
