I think due the mounting ill actually have to bend them more than the stock ones as i need to put a 2inch bend in them.
Im guessing throwing them in your oven at work would help, how about if we made 2 pieces of wood with a curve equalling 2inch, in with each end having a thin section so we can clamp between it and the window, one for the front of the window and one for the rear of the window, clamp it to them and throw it in the oven?
Only thinking wood as im not sure what else to use, i dont think I have any ali let thats big enough
What sort of temp does it need to be done at, then pull it out and let it cool naturally?

Sell it on and get a good plated unit in there.
Aero looks the part, I guess time will tell if it works, I believe in some race series the wing cannot extend over the most rear part of the car, I guess whatever your building it for doesn't have that rule.
Is there a reason for not using a ATB diff? your the second person mentioning it but not the reason why.
A few people have used them in road and race situations and made positive comments about them saying that it gives the traction benefits without the major push understeer that can happen with other types of diffs
For time attack there arnt any aero rules, pretty much if you think it up you can do it, hence im running the wing further behind the car to help get access to cleaner air, I can of course move the wing closer to the body if I ever need to with an angle grinder, a drill and 10minutes.
I will be remaking the uprights anyway once the position is finalised after a bit of aero testing
