 Posted: Mon Mar 20, 2006 6:38 pm Post subject: Crimp or Fluting Question |
 |
|
Can somebody tell me what size the crimp on the ribs should be. I am
thinking about 1/2 inch or 3/16 inch. I am going to build a tool tommorow, so this
information would give me an idea.
Thanks,
Larry

I am wondering what the width of the crimp should be on the ribs. I am
guessing about 1/2 inch or 3/16 in wide. I am building a tool tommorow for
crimping or fluting. I want to finish my tail this week, so this information would
help a lot.
Thanks,
Larry

Just make the tool from the builders guide. It gives you very good control over the depth of the crimp. You can watch the metal straighten out while you are using it. It only takes about one hour to make using 3/8" dia rod.
