I've since discovered that they work a lot quicker if you do away with the nut and bolt and use a fly press.

ive been looking at getting a set, but the other day i thought id have a go with some odds and sods around the lab at work. just using a hydraulic press i think they turned out ok.



i then had a go using a tapered bung and got a nice radius, have got the photo at the moment, will upload later.

I find the easiest way is to super glue the bolt to the end of one of my fingers.

In the words of Blue Peter "here's one i made earlier" lol
Ofcourse the set andy's got is a lot easier to use and probably gives a lot better finish but it is possible with specifically made tooling.

That looks good, but there's loads of space to the right and above the big hole for some more *wink*

I'll take a guess and say that you couldn't put a hole there as that is where the B piller goes.

I guess by the lack of an answer, people haven't trued to rent them. Maybe ring round a couple of rental places.

Dont really know of any places local to me, plus being xmas period n all... the only place i really know is few towns over.. i'll have to go ask when im back at work..

Yeah they are just on the price bracket where if i can think of another couple jobs ill bite the bullet and buy a set... but just for what im wanting to do for now i thought it wouldnt hurt just asking one here...
