Bending side support SS1

I just bent it gently over my knee! It's a big radius, so it's easy to get nice smooth curve.
Just do it! Cheers Adrian |

if you are using a GRP rear tub you don,t need to fit the curved supports.

Same here
Sutch a thin strip of steel, it'll bend very easy. If you have delicate knees. You can use a bit of channel, angle, vice or even a workmate. Tap the strip with a hammer slowly working your way from one end to the other. It will soon curl up to give you the bend radius that you need.

I did mine a little bit different.
Cut the side supports. Cut the 25x3 strip to length + tacked it on at the top Held the side support in place tacked the strip at the end welded in side support It curves very easily

Thanks, sounds like I was worrying about nothing.
Hopefully I'll get a chance to give them a go today. Matt |

I've used this method for much much smaller radii in the past, works a treat.
