    Need Help in Bending Steel

    I bought a Kirk bolt in roll bar and the rear backing plates don't come pre bent to fit in the wheel wells. Can anyone help me out with this? Compensation can be provided. I I'm located in Fairfax, VA and can drive to a reasonable location.

      Buy a metal brake from harbor freight. Other wise put it in a vice heat it up with a torch until red hot and then bend it.

        Don't have a vice or work bench. I was hoping someone would let me come over really quick and do it.

          I have the tools (heat, hammers, vice) to bend that, but I'm in Beltsville, MD. If you want to make the trek this weekend, feel free.

          You should probably make a template out of cardboard so you know how much you want to bend it first.

            Sweet. I can probably make the journey. How much would you like in return?
