How to bend 1/4" steel strip
I'm making a bracket for my racing seat. I'm trying to use the
original mounting holes in the car (a 96 Miata) which are angle away from each other. My plan is to get a pair of 19" x 2" x 1/4" steel strip to mount the seat on. I need to bend the two ends of the metal strip about (20 and 30 degrees). My question is, how can I bend the metal strip with common garage tools? I was think to position the metal strip between 2 thick pieces of metal and use my trailer and jack stand as a vice to hold it near horizontal. Then use my car jack to bend the metal. I can use a welding torch to heat the metal if necessary. Thanks, Freddie |
