I never even attempted to try and bend mine in one piece..........Far too lazy to try & work out the geometry of it all

I used 4 long'ish bits of tube, put 90 degree bends in the middle of each one & then cut to width, then welded them up.

The rear panel bent round a treat & looks the part

I got the second one done earlier, i just need to cut them down slightly to make them the perfect size . I can't believe i didn't think of cutting them and welding them together from the beginning.
