crimps.jpgelectriccrimp.jpgpliers.jpgbeadedictube.jpgHear are my attempts at ic beads. I used this link to build the tool and thought i'd share...http://www.dsmtuners.com/threads/how-to-bead-your-own-intercooler-pipes.307563/. I also tried electric crimps per a mazda website. I think the home made tool deforms the pipe less. Either one is a 10 min hand work out. If you can lay a bead of aluminum you're better off. I tried with a spool gun and couldn't do it. If i had to build the tool again. Id geta larger vise grip from harbor freight and the largest washer i could find
