I made another radius former as well to get the correct shape. This must be done in sequence or you cannot get the last pressing and making the correct allowance for the radius when marking the sheet.
Just a little edit! here's a handy tip if you have a press brake. In the first photo I have a thin piece bent to the exact width of my V die and a line in the centre. This just makes it very easy and accurate to set your material in the centre which otherwise you could be a bit out. This is good when you are doing multiple bends that have to marry up with other pieces. Because I bent the little piece into a channel I simply slide it back so my top tool doesn't bend that too. I have one on both sides.
