FIVE Posted May 2, 2010 Share Posted May 2, 2010 You can see the bend on this thread here... Not sure what to use to bend a metal frame. Probably just a vice grip and something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pandatrooper Posted May 2, 2010 Share Posted May 2, 2010 If you bend it by hand (hold it in a vice, or stick one end in a pipe, and "pull" on the other end) you might get a pinch and ovalize the bent section. Might be OK if you're not too worried about it being "perfect". If you have access to a mandrel pipe bender, you can keep the bend round in profile.
