I've seen how to bend the ali around the wind screen and it worked fine but I can't find how to bend the wind screen supports.

cheers mark.

Sorry I misunderstood!

Mine are cast, so I don't know!

Cheers

What dd you make out of? If they are steel then you should be able to bend them a little at a time in a vice
like the dude above suggested
If they are alumnium just watchout for work hardening(they may crack)and anneal as needed.

good luck Fetch
