"I use very small diameter copper plumbing pipe and make a nice and neat ground across my chassis"

That's an excellent method. I also like tinned buss wire for this. Install two small terminal strips on either side wall and run the wire between them. Most of the grounds in the amplifier can then use this ground. A number of manufacturers did this in the '50s and '60s with good results.
