In addition, the 1-3/8" OD tubing thats needed is not a common size at 
steel supply houses, and in any case it must be bent to fit. The one passing by 
the shifter shaft is particulary gnarly to duplicate, as is the one under 
the alternator. If welded, a TIG must be used or you'll burn away the nickel 
in the stainless and the welds will rust. Same goes for the tanks. I know the 
stuff is expensive from the vendors,   but you'll only need it do it once 
in your lifetime. Good luck- J Deryke
