Vintage Tubing Bead Roller
I found this tubing beader at a flea market last summer for 35 bucks.
It will do 2" and up tubing. This is a piece of 3" exhaust pipe I used to test function.
Worked great! After a few passes thru the rollers I had an "almost" perfect bead.
With some practice this will be a nice addition to the tool box. It does decrease the inlet a bit, as you can see but that doesn't hurt anything as far as flow goes. The rubber fitting will blend into that nicely.
I am looking to make some additional roller dies for this so I can do smaller tubing I.D.'s. 1 1/2 and 1 3/4 for radiator lines are a must have.

The first model car I built was a 32 Ford roadster by Revell in the mid 50's.
