Hi All,

Does anybody have an intercooler pipe beading tool that I could borrow? Ideally located close to basingstoke. Having a few issues where I cut the cooler hard pipes for a better fit and the couplers blows off, so wanting to put a bead on to help give the clamps a fighting chance at holding the couplers on.

Cheers

 

 

Cheers for that, I did watch that very same video before i posted. I couldn't find the tool in the video to use as a basis for mod, even after a number of web searches. Also if anybody had a proper tool that was not too far from me and would be willing to let me have a go, i reckon it would do a better job.

 

Try spraying the ends of the pipe and tubing with hairspray!!!! . Not tried myself .but apparently does work

 

Do you know anyone with a Tig welder? Could get a bead welded on both ends.

Or modify some mole grips, if you know someone with a normal welder.

From a thread I posted nearly 6 years ago on 22B.

 

I did a very similar thing with mine micky and very effective but i had cramp in my hand for 3 weeks after lol
