Can't find anyone to bead my coolant pipes. I didn't think to have it beaded before they were welded up. Is it necessary that they are beaded? If so, are there any suggestions?
I believe mine will do SS and Aluminum tubing as well AND you can use it for the cost of shipping to/from your shop. Looks like the same tool as shown by WPI. PM me if you want to give it a try.
I made mine out of copper pipe, hose connections into a female adapter for the radiator hose. McMaster Carr has all those fittings for hose to pipe thread and just soldered them together.
Im not a good welder, im a B G welder, blob and grind so I can solder pipe, so that how I did mine.
Worked fine, although I wouldn't want to build several cars with it; not sure the tool would last through multiple cars. The stainless is pretty tough stuff.
