The mails regarding using double-sided tape to hold the tab in place when bending refer.
However it seems futile to chase Van's hit and miss method when there is a far simpler and quicker method. This worked for me:
Take a 3/4" thick plank, trace out the "V" that the tab end makes on the face of the plank, leaving a 2" border on the sides and bottom of the "V" ( the top end of the "V" is flush with the forward end of the tab), cut out this "V", insert the trim tab into the "V" cutout and pinch it in place with the other end of the cutout triangle. Put a clamp across the ends of the plank to hold the tab nice and snugly and bend at will without any slipping. I found a bit of masking tape applied to the surface of the tab prevented any scratches and aided in the clamping. Running a rivet gun along the bend gives it a nice straight even finish. Drill the holes for the rivets with the tab still in the clamped position for accuracy.
Hope this helps
