The reducer I can get sent over but the 2nd bit is that thing which is 6 weeks away. I think Revolution Race Gear sells bits and peices like that and its close to work!Whats the best way to bend aircon line back (farken horrible job). Slowly slowly I guess? And the best way to cut out metal bar? Dremel thing? Edited 17/03/09 12:01 PM by Mat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guests Posted 17/03/09 12:01 PM Share Posted 17/03/09 12:01 PM bend it slowly in one motion, it can bend a long wayI just use a good old 5 inch grinder for cutting, get a real real thin wheel to do it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then we tidied up the cut pieces, and I put primer/paint over the cut sections to try prevent rusting there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
