I need to tweak my subframe connectors a touch.. Anyone have any ideas what kind of shops would have the right type of press??
Neighbor has two presses but I can't see any way to hold the connector to bend it... Any direction here would be appreciated ..
TY all....
 
I have access to a press like that , but I am not sure how to set it up?? I need to bend my front up 3/8" and the rear sideways 1 " ....
Did u press it in the middle??


For me i just had to bend it in the middle and make the angle a little more open. So i supported on both sides and pressed gently in the middle using a plate on top of the bend to evenly press. Didn't take much

TY.. I see what your saying now, I keep thinking I need to support it at one of the far ends when doing this...
Making some patterns out of cardboard today to double check if the bend is the correct measure....
