kasey54 304 #1 Posted August 16, 2018 Good morning gentlemen. I have some cables too long and would like to know the best way to bend the z shape of the center actuator. Is it best to heat till red, or just bend. If heating do you cool it quickly to save the temper ? Thanks in advance , Kasey Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Racinbob 10,281 #2 Posted August 16, 2018 There are tools readily available to bend the Z but I just use needle nose pliars. No heat needed. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
