Try your local radiator shop as they will prolly make up there own pipes from time to time and they may have one. Pity you dont live in auckland as i could do it for you at work :D The tool that we use at work is called a Ridge Roller in our industry anyhow.

Cheers Jason.

yeah that was the only useful hit I found actually, do you know how much it cost? Having one would be quite handy, but unless I can get one for a reasonable price I'll just make one like the sweet vice-attachment one shown in the DIY link I posted

Clamps & safety wire or spring/s. Why have huge/heavy T-clamps on such lightweight fragile stuff? Not bling?
It may not look nice afterward, but a light smear of gasket cement or even just being clean, compared to the lube that you may have use to install the tube & hose, will help.

T clamps are over kill, plain hose clamps/jubilee clips are perfectly adequate, and used by OEM
1988 KE70 Wagon - Slowly rusting
1990 NA6 MX-5 - because reasons
2018 Ranger - Because workcar
1997 FD3S RX-7 Type R - all brap, all the time
OMG so shiny!
