Hi RPM
I tried to hot bend (cherry red heat) some recently and found that cracks developed. I decided to drill, tap and fit grub screws under fulcrum points rather than risk cracks developing in the new ones I purchased.
I think it’s OK to bend 3 speed toggles as I think they are plain mild steel rather than forged. Others will no doubt correct my metallurgy knowledge!
Cheers
Howard
