Brief Description:  Cutting the streamlined I-Strut tubing

After marking the cut-line on each streamlined tube, I used a 2" air cut-off wheel and a hacksaw to make the approximate cuts and then used files and the linisher to slowly adjust each cut to fit neatly onto the header tubes. Each end of the streamlined tube was "squashed" to the required 1" to neatly fit onto the header tube. This was done gradually with a vice. Worked well in the end.
