I think the channel idea would not work to well, go with the thicker plate and anneal a biger section,use a good vice and plenty of clamps and a big hammer:laugh: or do as Jeffro suggested and take it down to a local fabricator

Bruce 2.5mm is pretty thin for a bashplate? :ohmy: Most bashplates are 4mm. If you want to bend your alloy easily and it is T6 you will have to anneal it where you want to bend it. You do this by running a carbonised flame over the bend line so it is covered in black soot. You then heat this area up until the soot is removed,this will be the right temp for the annealing. remember though the alloy in this zone will no longer be “T6”

To bend is easy enough, just use a vice and two flat pieces of board clamped around the outside and bend as recquired. I made a Carbon fibre guard for my pipe with a thick alloy bashplate to protect the frame rails/engine etc. Best of luck with your project mate.

Hey Mick
I think you could find a few ways to get to willawarren from say Crescent
Through the maria national park,cross the hwy up old coast road onto pipeclay rd then willi willi rd.very little tar
I have also been told about a track from rollands plains up over the mountain comes out the other side of Willawarren

Yep i have to agree with Puddles there:laugh: would still be about 15 kms of Tar from Cresent to Maria Though. I know maria state forest pretty good,as my olds live right on the edge of it.

Yeh thanks Dave. Ive been living here for 15 years and have done the same thing hundreds of times No problems.

i think it is important to learn from your mistakes. I also think it is important to be able to have a laugh at yourself and share your experiences. :angry: Makes for an interesting forum:laugh: which is different from the other ones
