Thank you sir.....
...... from Grant and myself....... I still have my large original steel steam fitting which I can eventually substitute........
Will be hunting for Sunpro or NAPA to see what we can find in Ottawa.... All I know is that two different cheap (China?) makers both at Princess AUto and CDN tire would not take the old CMP square nut fitting...... Spring will tell how it fits....... Chris......... why did you use 3/4 gas pipe instead of the lighter electrical conduit....???? I like the idea of doing it in two piece then welding for proepr size..... Bob

Geez.....
.... I always wanted to borrow and play with some one else's hicky....
Does it come with instructions......... I just may take you up on the offer. I have seen repros done with electrical tubing and when compared to the original it looks very similar and about the same wall thickness. Will have to get together at the barn when the weather gets a bit warmer so we can catch up on Winter gossip. Thanks Alex. Bob

Bob, quite frankly electrical tubing is crap.... and wimpy
 The original bows were a much heavier wall than todays standard electrical tubing. Galvanized tubing is just not right, harder to weld nicely etc and for those of you who know me, I really try hard to use as close as possible to original material when I repro any items for my veh restos....

It's the same size as the galvanized stuff, but just black pipe.

Black pipe
Quote:
Here are the dimensions for black pipe..You would probably be looking at schedule 40 Standard pipe..comes in 22' lengths.. http://www.engineeringtoolbox.com/st...ions-d_43.html You would never bend schedule 80 pipe with a hand bender.. My bender would be for 1/2 conduit so probably 1/2" black would be the biggest it would bend.(.84" O.D.) We could check it out if you drop in..I have 1/2" gas pipe here.
