[QUOTE="JeffH454, post: 683145, member: 7314"] Depending on what type of shop press and bender you have its pretty easy to do. I used a cheap-o 40 ton press and my JD2 2"x180° die along with a little fab/welding of a bottom saddle and put 30° "kinks" in a set of lowers. The bottom form was just some heavy blocks welded to the press bed ..I split some 2" ID tube and used it as a buffer between the blocks and the links . The tube was packed with sand because I'd heard it helped it keep its shape but I don't know how necessary it was. The die needed a flat plate tacked across the "V" for the ram to push on but none of the welded stuff was permeate. I did try with the bender itself at first and once I added a big ass handle extension I was gonna shear the pins and destroy the follower shoes if I kept going. [/QUOTE]
