Brian Dorricott 1 Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 Having a senior moment here , there was a thread the other day about some topic that showed a link to video on bending nosewheel legs , smart ones have already guessed ! Got one now can't find the video and need to know how it goes together as there is nothing in the kit . Specifically bending a spring into it I can't work out , bet it's dead easy but don't see it . Anyone know where to find it ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Dorricott 1 Posted September 8, 2020 Author Share Posted September 8, 2020 Thanks Earlybird that's the one , looks dead easy now ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Miller Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 That is a great tool. I have been using mine since 1985. I have even bent 6 SWG on it but that did shear the stop screws so definately NOT recomended but 8 SWG is as easy as bending wet spaghetti Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leccyflyer Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 That's the wire bender that I use too - ace piece of kit. Don;t really care for the way that it was fitted in the vice, mine is mounted on a substantial wooden block, which is then fitted in the vice.

Jesus Cardin Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 I remember an 80´s RCM&E issue which described how to produce an own made wire bending tool with a pair of hard wood sheet and a steel hinge. I did one myself then and it worked a treat! Unfortunately I have been unable to find the magazine issue and also bought a similar jig recently for bending a 5mm piano wire landing gear. I have fixed it with screws to my working table. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
