I think the payment involved is either cash or beer.. and no bead roller, just plant a bead on the end like he suggested and life is good*. :)
*as long as it don't leak!

RE: Where to buy Aluminum
radiator components? NMC
I would have suggested angle cutting straight pipe, but I didn't think
you'd want to invest a few hundred bucks in a bead roller like Ashraf ;-)
Can you find somebody to tig it for you for less than the cost of the
pre-made ones?

After much calling, screwing around and very little progress (Griffin was
the best fit, but $$$ comes into play I think.. thanks Bill for that lead
tho) I realized that is going to be the cheapest/fastest bet. It's water, a
little 45/45 corner isn't that big of an issue plus I can get very tight to
the end tank this way. Plus straight pipe is $1.25 a foot vs. $24+ a corner
plus time plus whatever.
Thanks!

Straight piece of pipe, cut at 45 degrees, weld the two angled parts
together. Use bead-form to put bead on end and weld to radiator. Built
two custom radiators myself in the home shop this way. Cut-n-weld
mandrel bent aluminum pipe for the not-so-tight space stuff.
