Is it a bead ur looking to create to stop the hose coming off

norton 23rd October 2015 03:48 PM

Yes that's the goal.

Ok so measure the circumference of the pipe and cut a piece of copper brake line to this length
Then split the pipe along its length and push the split onto the lip of the pipe all the way around and solder in place.
Assuming its steel as i dont know if you can solder ali

rather than split it grind it back on one side until you can easily push through then you can push it on and solder....that is how I got a rounded edge on my exhaust tip...... for beads to keep pipes on simply bash a piece of brake pipe or cut a strip from a copper pipe and roll it around then solder ...did it on some of my steel water pipes

The id is about 28mm. Have you any internal jaws that small?

Pedal box is more or less done. I need to hook up the hydraulics and test it. I also glued some this rubber flooring to the floor as it just felt like it needed it. Should dampen the floor panel too.
