Not sure about using conduit, but I did use a 20mm conduit bender to bend my tubes.
It didn't make a perfect job of them, and flattened them slightly, but it's good enough considering the ali tub is going to cover them.

I used a conduit bender but packed the dies out with some duct tape to make the tube a bit more of a snug fit, It didn't work out to badly

Dont suppose using conduit is a problem but dont use the galvo stuff as fumes when welding are toxic. Also galv <zinc> plays havoc when it comes into contact with ally.

You could of course just go buy a length of 7/8' 16-14gauge ERW clean mild steel then you'll have no trouble welding or bonding to it.
