More absolutely amazing work Robert! That seat pan is remarkable! How do you like that hydraulic flaring tool? I have the same one. I noticed if you apply too much pressure you can crack the tubing. Have you ever had that issue?

Your washer line repair made me laugh. On our excursion a vacuum line runs along the bottom of the cowl in the plastic wiper gutter thing Ford designed. It is about 3" from the turbo. One day the hvac would only blow on defrost. I opened the hood and found the little plastic line sagged down and melted to the exhaust housing. LOL I made a metal line for it and covered it in some heat wrap. Haha

I've used it almost extensively for stainless tubing and have noticed the cone die has depressed slightly from repeated flares in same location. I think I need to make one out of 4140 OH..
