[QUOTE="Spiff, post: 1009591, member: 404998"] Good afternoon from a windy Mullion Cove Cornwall. I have two 350 mm stand off brackets purchased cheap on eBay, ex Sat Super Store. The fully welded type.[ATTACH=full]105057[/ATTACH] I wish to bend the three legs in so that they will be at right angles to the pole fixing bracket. By cutting the legs and bolting them to another bracket so that there is a pole mounting bracket at either end, the idea is to mount a second dish on the same pole. The second dish will be stood off, this is necessary as both dish motor mounts require the top end of a pole to fix to. Perhaps sounds a crazy idea, but I intend to try it anyway : ) The question is I know I could bend the 2 inch wide x 1/4 inch thick bar from its present position to a right angle, but the point I wish to bend it on is the weld between the leg and the pole fixing plate. Is the weld going to be happy with this ? Would heating at the weld help ? We have had a good look online but could not find advice about bending at a weld. Now I know this forum has some gentlemen who fabricate their own brackets, so they may have the experience in such matters. God Bless Spiff [/QUOTE]
