Did mine like it says in the book - came out perfect.

Note to all: I really don't know when to leave well alone. I tried to get clever with the mods, then when they gave me a lifeline to see the error of my ways, I tried to incite more trouble via u2u. So now I'm banned, never to return again. They should have done it years ago!

I've seen how to bend the ali around the wind screen and it worked fine but I can't find how to bend the wind screen supports.

cheers mark.

Sorry I misunderstood!

Mine are cast, so I don't know!

Cheers

What dd you make out of? If they are steel then you should be able to bend them a little at a time in a vice
like the dude above suggested
If they are alumnium just watchout for work hardening(they may crack)and anneal as needed.

good luck Fetch





I'd rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal labotomy...
