There are 3 places in a Model-A where this rolled tubing is used. Wanna take a guess where the other two places are>>

Radiator support rods and horn rods

Tubes are stronger Learned this working on hydraulic rods and tubes ,more surface area to bend makes it stronger with less weight.

Seamed gas lines and 28-29 radiator tubes. That makes about 5 seamed tubing applications.
