Default Putting a curve into a sheet metal U channel

I need to put about a 30 degree curve into a piece of sheet metal U channel,
curve needs to have a radius of 100mm.

Channel is 75mm wide x 15mm deep with 15mm flanges, made out of .75mm sheet.

I dont have access to rollers - not sure how they'd be any use. I've got an
hydraulic press brake, plus usual workshop tools.

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.


First ? is- a curve which way?

Where the side walls form the inner and outer radii, or where the
bottom of the U is the inner or outer radius?

Then, U channel as in curved bottom of the U, or flat? ( U vs |
