Thanks Dave, those couple of carriers will be stored away for a while as I've got some other projects in line first. Paul, you probably didn't see them hiding behind all those kangaroos
  Onto some fuel tanks. These must be bent in sequence or you won't get the last bend without destroying it.

If they're not bent at 90deg to the side then they'll be twisted when welded.

I also made a new forming plate which is a bit thicker than the other one I had. It certainly needs to be clamped to a solid base for peening.

As I form it around the corner I kept grinding the excess away as you don't need to shrink/stretch any more than you need to.
Another 7 to make and a dead arm at the end of it  Colin.

Thanks Clark, I would love to have the knowledge of a tool maker. I'd have a die for everything.
 Keith, sorry for the delay on the numbers Ford, NSW 2822 VR, 634 The paintball tiger I made was VR 3413 The Fuel tanks to date. I decided to mig weld the joints as it was the quickest and most effective way for me to do it.
