Having run out of materials/money to continue with the brake lines,I decided to have a go at making some radiator brackets.
I have seen this done three different ways on three different cars.
Above you can see one bent to shape,and one ready to be bent.
Below is my bending setup.Sheet clamped into vice,using ally angle as vice jaws.


And here is the part after whacking it with a big hammer lots and lots of times...

Here it is after the second bend...

And after drilling the holes for riveting to the chassis...

All I have to do now is pray that it fits under the bonnet!!!
(I guessed the position using others pictures)
