Jimmy were did you get the stainless elbows pre bent I bend mine but if I could buy them it would be easier? When you sleeve your pipes you could use stainless tubing K&S metals has the next size smaller that fits into the 1/2 inch pipe and if you silver solder them together when polished the joint is hardly noticeable.

Ed,
I got the elbowsfrom www.microgroup.com they are 90° elbow; male-male. The part # is 90MM-8

I thought about sleeving with another tube, but I want alittle more meat to thread when I mounted to cab. A guy could always tig weld the elbows also.

Hi Jimmy thanks a lot for the info I really appreciate it. This will be a lot easier than bending them my self and trying to get the angle wright. This way I ca put them were I want them when I sleeve them with the next size smaller tube and silver solder them together. I should not even see a seam after polishing them. Ed
