RV-8 , F823-1 Rolling Detail

RV-8 , DWG 74 , Bottom left corner , rolling detail. RV-8 builders that would like to save a little time when you reach this step, can contact me and I will ship you my block and pre-drilled angle iron for this rolling detail. Worked good for me ! contact Bill, [email protected]
 
3/4 angle

Just gonna go and bevel the 2x4, but reading ahead:

The 3/4 aluminum angle called out for bending this- was it included in the kit?

I see you mentioned angle iron.... I happen to keep on hand a few lengths of mild steel guage bent into 1"x1" angle on a giant press(for general purpose non-aviation fabrication...).

Would anyone see a problem with substituting that for these skin bends? The way I read it looks like these get discarded along with the block.
