Default Driver's footwell plate (CP17?)

Anyone got any tips on how to bend the angles on the plate covering the side of the driver's footwell (i think it's cp17, but haven't got the book with me at the moment).

I've managed to bend the angles on all the other plates by holding them in the vice and giving them a little tickle with a hammer

Just obviously won't work with the wide plate. I was thinking mabey cut it and weld the angles may be easier.

Also, are the bends just for strength? As i'm sure there's no upright near where the bends in the plate are.

Anyone got a pic of the plate in position??

Cheers

Dave

Best bit so far: Getting it running
Worst bit so far: Cutting steel for wishbones and engine mounts.
Most annoying bit so far: Generator packing up half way through welding.
