Nice work, I started something very similar for mine about a year ago out of brass and solder...it wasnt coming out so great so I scrapped it. Yours looks great though, thats what I wanted mine to look like |

| thanks that's what I was going for, I hav'nt seen anyone else do that so I wanted to make something diffrent. although it took me a while longer to make since I had to make my own dimple die, the outcome was worth it !! Corey I'm looking at ideas for the rest of the stuff right now |

and no pic of the dimple die it's prety rough. and if you do a search for them for 1:1 work you'll get the basics of it. here's what I "copied" http://www.lightracing.com/lightraci...dHoleDies.html and oh yea thanks for the compliments guys. I can't wait till I get all the stuff done that I'm making for this rig. once Corey get's it back and finishes it, it should be prety sweet Last edited by dhoffroad; 12-17-2007 at 07:51 PM. | |

I think you could use a brake line flaring tool for a dimple die. I'm gonna try it at some point, results will be fortcoming.
