That is a pretty hefty bend. *How many of these do you need? *What is the

Oops! I forgot to ask about that.

Ok, this would not be a sharp bend, but the curve on the *outside*
would be the same as that of a 2inch ball(max.).

I'm assuming that the radius would be 1 inch and a tiny bit smaller
since the metal would only be 1/8" thick.

Also, how much easier would 72 degrees be?

Thanks a lot.
