I have some salvaged ali pipes that I plan to use in my cooling system (32mm and 20mm OD with 1mm wall thickness), is there a locost way of creating a bead on each end of the tubes to help keep the hoses on?? Obviously they will be jubilee cliped too.

Cheer, Some good ideas in there.

I like the mole grips, ball bearing, M5 nut and insulation tape version. That's locost.
