Not really transaxle specific but its for the GTV so I thought I'd slap it in here.

The rear spring pans on the car have worn through, not all the way round just in a couple of places. Its not all corrosion, mainly is just because of the friction between spring and pan.

So I've picked up some 30x2mm and 16x2m bar to patch it up. Now, bending this bar along the 'easy axis' (bend in the 2mm plane) is pretty straight forward.

But is there a way to bend in the 30mm plane, or an I going to be cutting through 80/90% bending and welding to get a rough shape?

I'm guessing heat and violence is going to come into this somewhere.
