I dont think i've been describing things properly. Its the nut on the end of the green copper pipe that needs replacing. Looks like an arse to do?

not really.
obviously steel pipes a bit harder to do than the copper pipe you normally use. |

Me and Chris tried some pipe flaring for project pratmobile over the weekend using a dodgy cheapo chinese pipe flaring kit off ebay.
Early attempts varied from pigs ear to laughable, but in the end we did a few passable ones.
A bit of practice and a half decent pipe-flarer and it wouldnt be that hard.
Use a dodgy ebay chinese pipe flarer though and youre really up against it. Bad workmen blame their tools and all that, but without decent tools, youve got no chance! |
