Ridged 37 degree tool



 Answering off-digest questions / comments (obviously) on-digest: My
opinion is that it is a possible chicken or the egg situation. Did a
bunch of executives from a newly formed company after viewing their
newly produced calendar feel a more than somewhat pleasant feeling in
their pants and then say, "Hey, guys, why not name our company Ridged?"

Or perhaps the company name came first and the spicy calendars followed.

Not sure where I purchased my Ridged 37 degree (why can't we include the
degree sign and not have everything flip out?) flanger dealy but believe
it was from either Grainger or McMaster. It had to be ordered, paid by
cc and shipped to my place. It was (I believe) under $100, but not by
much.

The tube bender was purchased at a vintage type hardware store in
Pasadena (Berg Hardware). It makes nice 45 (little degree sign) tight
bends. Not cheap, maybe $55. Since Alan Ward said to buy stainless brake
line tubing I did. Same hardware store sold me an expensive (maybe $60)
Imperial Eastman (or other way around) tube cutter along with special
cutter for stainless. Neat little place to store extra blade on cutter.

I'm so far behind - life in general - but will try to someday down or up
load photos of the brake and fuel lines on clients '66 / '67 Duetto
vintage race car. Oh sure, you'll be on to more exciting things by then
like SUV's, what rear differential should I use on my 164, SUV's, and
how many turbos are too many?
