So...I have a DFV arm, that doesn't have very much curve in it. I need to bend it, but it's tougher than me.
I used to be able to bend steel with my bare hands, but after that Delilah girl cut my hair....well, I just haven't felt like my old self for a long time.
(If you know what I mean.)
Anyone know of any tricks on how to get this arm bent the way I want it?

Re: Bending a DFV Arm
wrap it in tape, put it in a vise to the point where you want to bend and pull. you might need to put a little extension (like a tube, or put it in the end a a drill) on that part to give better leverage,

Re: Bending a DFV Arm
This works an absolute treat. I once used this method to bend a part of a tractor I damaged and ended up breaking the vice, which then landed on my foot Gotta love steel capped boots.louis cyfer wrote:wrap it in tape, put it in a vise to the point where you want to bend and pull. you might need to put a little extension (like a tube, or put it in the end a a drill) on that part to give better leverage,

Re: Bending a DFV Arm
the dfv arm will bend. maybe the tractor part was a little heavier duty.blargfromouterspace wrote:This works an absolute treat.
