Abstract
A method of securing intake tubes in an intake manifold is provided in which leakage of brazing material from the joint between the intake tubes and the intake tube mounting rings is prevented. For securing each intake tube in the intake manifold, the intake tube,is fitted into the intake tube mounting ring,Then, a jig,of a tubular shape is inserted into insert areas of the intake tube,and the intake tube mounting ring,The jig,includes separate sections,defined by slits extending to a predetermined length in parallel to the axis and has a plurality of projections,and,provided on the outer side of the separate sections,thereof. A bar-like pressing tool,reduced in the diameter towards its front end is inserted into the interior of a tubular shape of the peen locking jig,and it is then advanced relatively towards the insert area by the action of pressing means. As a result, the projections,and,are dislocated radially and press the outer side of the intake tube,against the inner side of the intake tube mounting ring,to join each other by the effect of plastic deformation.
