. . .is officially a Bad Idea, just like bending any bolt, but if
someone [cough] wanted to have the eyes of a couple eyebolts knocked
over about 45 degrees, is heat a good idea? How much attention should be
paid to the radius of the curve?

These would be small eyebolts, the i.d. of the eye is about 3/8 in. Not
much force will be applied in service; it's to attach a small instrument
panel to a plastic panel in a motorcycle.

Suggestions, jeering etc. are welcome.
