Beadroller for under 15 bucks!

Postby marley4us » Tue Feb 26, 2013 4:57 pm

Need a beadroller and dont want to spend 100+ bucks on one. make one your self!

So I had to adjust my passenger side intercooler pipe, by shortening one end, and welding a bit of extra material to the other so it would fit right.

this is where I had it welded back up

but this left me with one end with out a bead.... So

well I had my friend weld this up for me so I can now have a beadroller :) best 12 bucks I have spent in a while! just a Vice clamp, exhaust clamp, and a washer.

here is how it turned out

A little bit of heat helps with it along with a line drawn up with a sharpie.
