Tubing end question

[npez]

Not necessarily a VH specific question but I thought I'd put this out there. Is anyone aware what tool one uses to create that "hump" towards the end of a hardline so that a clamp for a rubber hose gets grip? You see it all over the stock tubing, but I was going to bend some of my own hardlines for the P/S return and fill, and wasn't aware what tool I need to buy to do that.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,Nick.

Works for intercooler pipes, not sure if he has one that goes small enough for PS lines though...

Thanks Steve. Boy they're pricey! I'd have to spend almost $1,000 to get the 3/8 and 5/8. I may just go have these done after all.....

Thanks again,Nick.

Flaring and beading are two different things. Flares are used in double flare and inverted flare seals. Beads are used with push on hose and clamps.
