we have two very good pipe makes in this area but both gave me the same answer 1 they cannot flare the ends the same 2 the pipe is not a standard size it is not 12mm or 1/2 in the one guy looked at the steering box end and said he had never seen a bundy tube sent back on it's self to form the end in all the years he had been a pipe maker an he was older than me an I ain't no youngster
