pipe rolling and threaded pipe sleeves

[mikesmith181]

Hi all, 2 questions, firstly, does anyone know where to get pipe ends rolled to prevent them popping off, like the ones in the picture



Second, does anyone know where to get the threaded pipe sleeves in the picture below?



Thanks in advance

yes there are buddy, i just cant justify spending £300 for the machine when i only need to do 10 beads maximum.

[mikesmith181]

Sorry hi hijack this thread but does anybody know where i can get alloy bead fromed pipe tails for header / oil catch tanks etc
also where to get alloy weld in caps
many thanks

While I was looking I found a home made tool can be made if you have a welder. Using mole grips one jaw has a heavy duty washer welded on it and the other jaw the steel plate bit of a exhaust pipe bracket.

Google im sure you will find it never tried it and guess it would only work on aluminum
