Those bendy metal pipes/fittings on liebher

[cdm]

cannot find anything like it. cannot make my own because i have no means of attaching the nipples to the pipe stock or attaching the hose to the stock pipe with a 3rd party connector. i've tried a few types of connectors and they either cannot be made to fit or leak under pressure.

ideally you could just weld the nipples onto the tube stock but it is impossible for me or anybody that i know/can hire to work on something that small. and we are talking about stainless/alum weld as is. assuming brass, still brazing alum/brass wont work.

so, anybody know where i can get those? really any angle will work.. from 40 to 130d. i can make it work.

on a side note, anything cheaper than the 9euro pipe connectors >> ? i need like 15 of them which comes to over 200$. ugh

that's all hand made from brass tube & rod, then soldered together.

Or, not quite as fancy, but effective is the block style that Leimbach does, easy enough to replicate.

I saw what he did last night. Looks like he used the quick disconnect, screwed into a brass standoff and then soldered that standoff into the brass tube. I'll try it, unfortunately i cannot get metric sizes that are not hex... all the round ones are imperial.

i need a lathe apparently.
