jbs Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 If you mean a flaring or belling tool then you need to get hold of a book by Ron and sue Fournier titled as the metal fabricators handbook-I got mine off of e-bay, It's really good It's also show's you how to make a roll cage too however after looking at pirate 4x4 website I'd rather work off of his workings as I find them better explained HTH John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Night Train Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 If you have access to a lathe then you can turn a die and anvil that can be pulled together with a bolt through the centre to make the swage. make sure the die and anvil have a flat unformed anulus around the edge to keep the material flat when the swage is made.
