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.
