oh, and keep in mind, the tightest inside radius you can do with a bend like that is generally the thickness of the material ... so 1/2" radius

edit: in proportions

On TTORA he said it's for a light mount... If so - um, dude, my HEAVY skidplates are "only" 3/16" - I'm thinking something in the 0.090" range would be PLENTY stout.

Regardless, if you had a torch and a vise, you could bend it quite easily.
