Hey airplane dudes,
I've been scratching my head about how to bend some of the thicker parts with a 1/4" radius bend in them. I came up with a retrofit for use with my "Dave's Brake" that will do just that. (I actually made another "Dave's Brake" purpose-built for bending thicker parts, but you could retrofit yours.)
If you're interested, go to www.mykitlog.com/debo and check out the entries that have "Beefy Brake" in the title.
Just trying to share a little information.

Looking good Debo.
One of the tricks of the trade are to just two way tape a piece or two of metal to the bending device and make a bend radius larger that way. Leave the piece(s) stuck there to function as the .25r and remove them to set the brake back to standard .125r
YMMV
