Bead roller DIY, need dies

[ratgreen]

Hello all,

Im tempted to make a cheap DIY bead roller for use on intercooler pipes.

Im looking for dies, cheap as possible.

I have thought about using the rollers for large sliding doors due to thier U shape, but I do not have the other side of the die, and am struggling to think of anything I can buy and use (like a thick steel coin or something)

If you google "vice mounted bead roller" and select "images" you will see that some have used a pair of mole grips welded and ground up to form die shape. Failing that look at the vice mount option
And welcome BTW
