Got the pulleys aligned OK with the belt gravitating to this position.

Oh sure, just post the pic. Inquiring minds want to know... That's a nice clean bend but obviously not a trick, high dollar, bender. Sand filled? Did you have to use heat.

Dad made the bender - I think he's done it cold, just used lots of leverage but done it with good control and "smoothly" - he's not 100% satisfied with the result so he's gonna do another with now that he's got the technique down pat.

Car's not in the man cave, I'm taking the mill across Bass Straight to instal, I may get to do a few running in laps at Symmons Plains on Saturday before bringing back across next Wednesday and on to Adelaide for ANZAC Historics. (Fingers crossed......)
