How I beaded my copper coolant lines

This might be able to help somebody.

I made a bead former out of an old pair of vise-grips and some steel scraps.

Excellent tip!
Don't know how to tell you this.. but you have built your car with the steering wheel on the wrong side

nah, its not their fault, some plonker built all the roads the wrong way in most of the foreign countries and they have to build their cars the wrong way to compensate.
nice little tool btw, i too was going to solder olives onto the pipe, but you cant do that with ally so it depends whether i go with ally or copper.

I'd take the seats back if I was you. Looks like the writing has been stitched on backwards.





7 out of 10 people suffer with hemorrhoids. Does that mean the other 3 enjoy them?
