I haven't put flat stock in my pipe kinker. It does bend round stock nicely. I suppose in my earlier reply. I didn't consider the diameter need of the bend.

Well, I think I'm going to admit defeat for this year on finishing the cargo rack for the baja. Unless I can get some abnormally warm days. I wish I had a heated shop. Maybe someday. I'll pick it back up in the spring.
