[Mk2] [Turbo] new hot pipe

Post by slipping clutch »

I am currently making some pipe work up to fit my charge cooler - I need to put the small hump in the pipe to stop the silicone pipe work slipping off - can any one tell me what this process is called? I thought it was a "swage"
but apparently its not - I have tried a number of local engineering companies to get his done and am coming up blank. I am now resorting to telephoning other companies farther out and asking them but it would help if I knew the proper name for the process :oops:
Even better if your Near Wiltshire and can do this please drop me a line :cheers:
