Guest Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 Good evening all, Got something of a quandary, I need to make some pipes that have crimped end's like this. What type of crimping tool dose that? Thought someone here might know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bender Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 What material, anything like that is going to be hydraulic and be expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 (edited) I don't think there would be much pressure, It's oil return pipe, it looks close to rotting. I was thinking about making it out of copper then electro plating with nickel/zinc. but your probably right the tool would cost more than the bike is worth.

RideWithStyles Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 (edited) bender is correct, its can be done at the smelts, foundry places, iron works would do it etc just to do one or a few pipes will be time consuming for so few so id be surprised if cheap... just a normal pipe and a good collar clamp would do the trick. but for me average metal works (machinist) is the way forward. ask a local precision engineers with the centre lathe to turn a metal pipe (solid or tubed) for it. solid would be nice as owt will do but depending on its outer and inner dimensions could be a lot of waste for recycle adding cost, its a piece of piss i wouldnt even use a cnc machine for it just for one or a few- just a manual one with less than an hour...but now a days i think they can scan the piece and let the cnc just do it with little input from the operator but that is very specialised. then either off to pipe bending (some PE have them) or weld to and polish.

V650 Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 Would it not be cheaper / easier to buy one? something like this https://www.cmsnl.com/honda-cbr1100xx-superblackbird-1999-x-usa-california_model7258/pipe-oil-return_15241mat000/ Not sure of your exact bike model but same pipe may be fitted to other models 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RideWithStyles Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 of course thats assuming they are available? just suggesting options if not as that was the question... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick the wanderer Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 I didn't look that far, V650 provided a link for one so I'm guessing they are out there. David Silver is the Honda man is he not? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldgrump Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 (edited) Hi, @Vic101, according to Fowlers they have some in stock at £17.20 each, or if you have a Honda dealer near you just order from them. My local Honda dealer normally gets parts next day for me. And saves on postage!!

Guest Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 (edited) hmm... This is the issue, been looking for these other 2 oil pipes as well, they could do with replacing, I can't find new one's anywhere, even second hand they cost loads a money. pre 1999 there all over the place. And found out you need to take the sump off to replace the pipe on the left pfft. but there's always a silver lining the exhaust looks good someone has doused them in gear oil Edited February 15 by Vic101 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RideWithStyles Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 if you dont have any other options....its the last resort i was suggesting. the center lathe and pipe bending is the cheaper route but finding someone will take abit of searching. you could go looking at a honda jazz to butcher its parts . wonder another option...for example race /drag teams would be worth asking which way they would go about it, different connectors tapped into the block and braided pipes id say.
