FE sedan project

what did u use to cut that a little gringing wheel or jigsaw or whats the go for that little section.

[BLOK]

I used a 6 inch grinder with a thin cutting wheel onthe curve I have the blade just cutting through the material and go slow so I can get around the bend ,a smaller grinder would be better or just square it off

[fe350chev]

thanks. all ideas are good to get.

earlier in the thread you were after demister hose?

I stumbled across minisport.. apparently minis use 32mm hose.

So for std demisters you can use mini hose... not sure about the available lengths but it's a start.

Nice work there Blok.I have the same flaring kit as you but which attachment are you using to get the right flare on the end or do you do it in two or more steps?Cheers,Jamie.

[TTV6FC]

Also,what size is the tube?

[Maco]

Hi Blok,

Does that flaring tool do the double flare?

If so where did you purchase it from?

Where did you purchase the tube?

Lots of questions sorry!!

Cheers

[BLOK]

Him guys I borrowed the tool of a mate but i will find out were he bought it ,It is a double flaring tool and the tube was purchased from Brake piont in Coffs harbour ,The tube is 3/16" which is i thing pretty much standard  but i also use the 1/4" because thats wat is used in the FE FCs.Here are some pics to help you out

Maco...

     you can get a double flaring tool, benders on ebay.com.au  and either steel , alloy tube or even copper if your state alloys ( in rolls ) on ebay.com from the USA, the tube is very cheap, i'm going to get some myself ...if you look on ebay.com.au you can get a complete set of multi-size benders and double flaring tool in 1 sale  just type in double flaring tool and the list goes on...enjoy your choices hehehe  ???

i have a single flaring tool but might need to purchase the same set as i mentioned

happy flaring and bending...but remember the golden rule " measure twice, cut once saves a lot of mistakes "

Have a gr8 Holden ( FE ) Day !!  ;D
