Brake flares
Dr Neil:
where do you come from Matt? if you are local to me maybe i can make some up for you :idea:
Matt_H:
The tool I used I got from ebay http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=3872116284&ssPageName=STRK:MEWN:IT
Clamp the pipe in with the same thickness as the bottom rung of the anvil thingy poking out, then using a thing that looks like a two pronged puller you screw it in on top of the anvil bit. I'm screwing it until it goes no further, then it comes out like in the picture.
Help!
Matthew
Matt_H:
I can't see how the top could possibly be domed outwards, the anvil part bit is shapped almost flat with a slight indentation towards the middle pin part....
oh and I'm in basingstoke.

Matt_H:
hmm, I've tried it with more poking out and with less poking out, but can;t seem to get anything near resembling the safari one or like in the instructions that came with it.. I must be doign something really basic wrong.

I bought a Sealy pipe flarer and had no end of trouble getting a decent flare. In the end I took it back to the shop in disgust, got a refund and bought a flarer from these guys at Automec - an excellent, really easy to use piece of kit, but a bit more expesive than the Sealy (or Silly) item. They also sell complete brake pipe sets, ready flared. All you have to do is bend the pipe. Just let them know what vehicle it is and they'll make you up a set.
