Does any one have a pipe bead tool?

[s2_bo]

Does anyone have a tool for forming a bead on to the end of alloy pipe?
I know there is various ones out there for sale but they are quite expensive.

I have 4 pipe ends that need beading before they are fitted but i dont really want to buy a tool for it as they are quite expensive so if anyone has one that i could borrow that would be great.
Thanks.

pipe tool flaring tool? there quite cheap for the simple clamp type ones, http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/10-pce-Metric-...8#ht_773wt_941

however how stiff is the pipe, as those are fairly useless at times on even brake pipes

Your better off taking it to a shop to do, it would be cheaper. Merlin Motorsport or an shop that can Alu weld can do it easy

The pipe is 76mm di.
Ok thanks Jamo, ill contact my welder. Maybe he has a tool for it.

Cheers.

Pipe Beading is what you want, Merlin Motorsport do it, I just checked the catalogue

Example of the tool http://www.roadraceengineering.com/e...icpipebead.htm

I'm sure local fabricators / exhaust places should be able to do it

I'm still on the hunt for this tool. Dont really want to fork out £150 just to use it on 4 ends.
Have tried various garages but none have one so far.

If any one has one I could borrow please let me know.

Thanks.
