Great stuff. I have entered that in my book of tricks.
I wasn't sure how to do it on my 2" fuel tank/ filler pipe but you have put my mind at rest.
Thankyou.

Agreed. It's a nasty looking little sucker, but what a great result.
We should have awards for such simple little gadgets!
Cheers,

Thankyou.

I could have used that last year for this very reason so I may have to take it apart and and get rid of the 2 clamps. Now if you can invent a gadget that can bend aluminum pipe into a 90 deg angle without breaking it....I'd be your new best friend !

Looks great - I wonder if the muffler clamp / woodruff key setup could be duplicated on a small bolt cutter instead of the vice grips. That would have more leverage if it could be done and probably much quicker and easier on the hands. It would need just a touch more fabrication, but if you could cut or grind down the size of the cutter head to fit inside the tubing and you use one of the smaller bolt cutters it should work pretty good, no?
