Time make the bend in the F-767 attach plate

I have learned in previous episodes of metal bending that the material must be supported on each end of the intended bend to prevent the outer ends of the material from curving during the actual bending. Damn, I sound smart... Here, I've put some tongue depressors on each side of the plate to prevent damage from the vise. The bend line shows just above the edge of the tongue depressors.
