Well looks like I need to buy a bead roller and tubing bender. Should it be galvanized steel tubing?
Since I don't have one to copy, what od tubing is this thing?
I'm just enjoying the heck out of making these parts! Thanks for sharing Jeff!
Using the picture Jeff provided as a reference I would try and salvage one from a 68 or 69 smallblock Mustang air cleaner assembly .
I already tried that. I bought a regular air cleaner base.
What happens is the end that has to go through the casting base isn't long enough.
Remember that nipple was made to be just long enough for the sheet metal. The aluminum is at least 1/4" thick at it's thinnest and if I remember correctly, is more then 3/8" thick at that point because of the cast in mounting boss.
