I'll get a write up and pics of the jig I'm using and get it on the fileshare thing for this group. Can't get it done right away, so give me a few days.

Brandon Tucker used to be a regular contributor, but only lingers from time
to time as he is now enjoying his plane. He did many posts on bending your
own gear. In sum up, he felt it was fairly simple with just a hydraulic pipe
bender from Harbor Freight.
You can read more at the ch601 websight. I am also sure he would be happy to
discuss his process with anyone who emailed him directly
(btucke73(at)yahoo.com).

I've sent a write up and pictures to the matronics photoshare thingy. I guess you have to wait awhile for it to get to the fileshare/photoshare
facility. I've also sent it to Mark up at the ch601.org web site. I'll also attach all of it to this note. If you can't find it, send me a note and I'll e-mail you what I have.

Wow Dave!
Your write-up and pics are exactly what I was looking for. Very ingenious. Thanks for posting them here, and at the 601 site. Posts like yours are one of the reasons I still stay on this list. Thanks again for willingly sharing your set-up.
