I used 3/4" EMT to make my fender to core support braces but I also made a crimper for my press to make a nice end on them.

Nice job on the fender braces. You should go into production and sell 'em. You can't find them in the junkyards like you once used to.

Thanks, I adjust my fuel pressure and vacuum pump using those gauges and it makes it much easier.

i like under hood gauges. put a couple on one of my hot rods about 30 years and my friends thought i was crazy. kept me from running around to look in the drivers seat many times.

I have identical ones in my dash but I found it is a little hard to make fuel and vacuum adjustments from the driver's seat.

You probably don't have sufficient engine setback.😜

I looked at the pipe again and seen that it is 3/4" EMT pipe so this may make it better I hope.
