Yacht club?

What dies get you get with it, looks like a 1 1/2 or 2" round in there. If that big wheel gets old, buy the HF pipe threader and adapt it on there.

It came with all round tubing dies, from 1” and up. Currently looking on SWAG for a 1” and 1-1/2” square tubing die sets and coming up with zilch. Guess I could have my machinist friend make me up a couple sets out of some chunks of round-stock.

 

[scrapdaddy]

Hey wait a minute, I have Swag 1 1/2" square dies (I think), but my roller is a Swag unit. I thought they made dies for the HF, too (same). I'll check mine tomorrow and get back with you.

 

[RUSH55]

Yeah, for some reason they suddenly disappeared from their website. Just saw them last week

Okay, thanks

Those are great! They have a million dies.
I found it easier to call. I have a 1.5 like Scrappdaddy but with the HF roller. What a cool tool!

Did you roll the two outside ends that run the length of the roof? Looking back at your pics it almost looks like you left them straight.(?)

Must be the difference between the mobile site and PC site. This is what I get when I look again on my phone, just so you can see I’m not an idiot.

Not sure what's going on but still works for me.

The two that run front to back were rolled as well. Just a bit bummed. When I tacked everything together it was perfect, no gap between the roof skin and the bows. I even welded in supports to keep from movement.
Welded it all solid put it back in and vua la there is a gap now.
Not much, but I had it perfect!

 

[RUSH55]

Is this gap between the roof and tube? How much gap?

They just like you better...

 

[xtiaan2000]

Bit less then 1/4”. I am going to do some sound/heat topped with Linex. Figured I would fill the remaining w maybe some sort of rubber.
Dropped that thing off today!

 

[RUSH55]

Oh baby! Looking forward to seeing that thing installed!

 

[RUSH55]

Well, now I’m in another club. Picked up this whole shebang from some nice Cruiser people in Mesa.

Also dropped off the springs at Valley Spring Service for main leaf work.

 

[Lifelong40Fan]

Nice NV4500! That’s everything you need! I’ll bet you got a crazy good deal. I’ve got all that minus the AA piece.

What engine are you going to run?

 

[RUSH55]

I’m looking to go with an LM7.
