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.

Well, I was told by one of the female students that the horn was the coolest things on the truck and that I needed to post a video of it. I couldn't say no
