The instructions don't mention fabricating this part, but the plans give the dimensions. So I assume I need to fabricate it. It is supposed to be made out of .063 aluminum. The challenge I'm facing is how to bend it. It is supposed to have a 68 degree bend in it. With that thickness I can't seem to bend it that far. Further more I cannot get a tight enough radius on it.
How did you bend this part? I thought about putting it in the vice and banging it with a mallet. Is that acceptable?
