try using a die thats to small for the pipe... that works good for my friends pipe bender... if you are trying to bend a 1.5 inch pipe, use a 1.25 inch die... its worth a shot...

I don't it would work that great. It was designed to just follow the car and not stand up to the forces of actually propeling the car forward?

Its been a while for update so here we go

I was having a problem of blowing coolant lines at high rpm so I pulled the main lines out and welded on lips to all the ends, at the same time I didnt have a drain plug so I welded on a bung to drain then put another in for a temp switch to run the fans...

The body work is done except for primer and paint so Im finishing up the interior and some minor wiring so I dont scracth stuff up pulling it all in and out.

taken from a cell phone at night so the pic isnt that great. I mocked up the interior, mostly to see if I could get a factory shifter console to fit over the SHO shifter, it fits but the boot doesnt work very well, too short and it hits the mechanical levers. I will just go to an aftermarket boot.




I decided to stay with Grey for tha base color, I have carpet on order to cover the engine compartment in the back, It will help cut down noise and heat I hope. as for the seat, I havent decided on which ones to use. I keep changing my mind, this week I am looking at these...

I also mocked up the console and I had to dremel the hole bigger and still doesnt feel right. I dont think im gonna use the stock console on this.

You need V-band clamps.

[PhoenixSHO]

Take a look, they make them with O-rings. So I see no problem for coolant.

Thanks

i was gonna say something about those but didnt feel like getting the link and all that stuff.... my friend it running them on his IC piping and they are VERY well built, but for 80 bucks each they better be well built lol...

for the 15 bucks per one i paid for my ebay ones for my exhaust im happy with them...

[NovaSS]

I could have used tri clover style bands but didnt see the need to. These are used in dairy and brewing industry. A simple clamp and a seal

What are you doing for a speedo? And can you point me to some shifter linkage pics. And are you running a hydro clutch? Thanks-

To run V Bands you pretty much have to design your system based on their dia requiremants. It would be a pita for him to add them now. Plus those clamps are aluminum with what appears to be aluminum sleeves. Isnt he running stainless? The only stainless V bands I've worked with were for high temp air.And they wouldnt seal coolant very well. I think the bead he put on the ends of his pipes is going to seal excellent.
