Modifying Fuel Rail

[jjw205]

I'm planning on threading in a 3/8NPT to -6AN fitting on each end of my OEM fuel rail. Just wondering, would there be any consequence to cutting the return side of the fuel rail about 1/2" shorter, so there will be enough room for the 90° fitting for the return?

I won't need the "ears" for the bolts to thread in to, since I will be tapping the rail for the fitting.

There should be no consequence as it is a closed system with a uniform fluid under consistent pressure.

I figured that. Just making sure there wasn't anything I was forgetting about.
