Are you talking about the weld bead from tig welding the pipe work together?

I think he might be referring to the double flair to keep the hose from popping off. If so I'm interested to hear of backyard methods for doing this too. I haven't see the proper tool but I reckon something could be rigged up out of a set of vice-grips and a roller.

There's always a few on e-bay.

AHHH - i hear DIY mentioned and i'll offer my method (so far proven on 2" pipe to 22psi.... oh, but no-one will have stainless intake pipe but me i'm thinking... hmm, well anyway...

turn your MIG down to a low setting and zap a few knobs around the perifery of the pipe end (about 8 is good). this means no sharp edges and the pipes cant slip off since the hoseclamp would have to actaully stretch to get over the knobbies once tight... make them 1-2mm high is all you need.
