Or do you need one of those special folding machines for bending?
I ask because I've decided to fab up a mount to hold both my PLX wideband (about the size of a pack of smokes) and my Scanmaster. Instead of both sitting atop the gauge cluster area, I'm going to fab up a little shelf for both to sit on. It will sit in front of where the center a/c vents are.
I picked up some 1/8 thick flat stock tonight at Lowes. I have access to vices at work, but this stuff looks almost like it would be really thick to bend in a vice with a hammer....and like I'd need one of those machines that is used to bend metal. (I can't remember what they're called but we had them way back in metals tech in high school)
Any pointers are much welcome and appreciated.
