BTW he told me about swaging tooling used for attaching
the pipe to the wiggins coupling without welding.
The tooling goes in the tube ends and expands the tube to
lock into the internally grooved tube ends.

I have made such a tool that is used on expanding
intake tubes to sumps on ac piston engines.

I can send cad drawings if anyone is interested.
(just modify dimensions accordingly.)

Great Archie. Please send them as Gifs if possible.
If not can you print the drawing and send it to me?
I can then scan it in and convert it to gifs.
We might consder makeing such a tool.

ACAD dwg format and DXF's seem to be limited in wide
spread interchangeability among CAD programs.
