Mac#1 made mine up, cheap too. They will do any standard diameters and lengths. I also got smco hose from them - looks well smart.

I can see that this would be a good solution to stop them popping off. However, it won't help the seal as you now have an uneven ridge..

All this beading the ends and bodging about with JB weld loks a right clowns game!!!!!
why the hell bother when a properly prepped stainless pipe inserted into a decent silicone rubber hose will NOT blow off.
I have had this setup to pressures that split an expansion tank, with a solid sealed rad cap, but the pipes nover blew off.
They only blow off when fitted to shitty corroded fittings or dirty fittings.
If you are still paranoid, then again, when using stainless pipe, simply put a run of weld around it as a bead, simple as that.

I tend to go on the side of caution now days. I was having a hell of a time with my turbo hoses popping off the intercooler at 12psi until I got the
hose mountings beaded. After that - no problems even at 20psi.
I know that water systems don't run at those sort of pressures but I just like to use belt & braces I guess
Strange.....I have run over 25psi boost on a cosworth turbo setup with unbeaded fittings and never had one come off..........and yes, water systems
will be at that sort of pressure at the max end. I run a 14psi cap on my grasser and have blown that when it got really hot, and some competition cars
run solid caps!

£20 a pop which, considering it is made to my exact requirements, is pretty good IMO
