 Making the bend on the F-705K
I bought a bending brake at Harbor Freight for 30 bucks to put the bend in the F-705K. It worked pretty good except that I had to go back on put the clamps back on in the middle only of the bending brake to really get a definite bend all the way across the part. Making a small 4 degree bend is a little tough.

 Drilled the holes for the F-705J angle piece
The instructions say to put an 1/8 inch gap between the top of the and the top of the F-705F channel. 2 tongue depressors pieces are exactly 1/8 inch when put together.

 Yep, that'll work...
|
 All drilled and clecoed.

 Drilled the F-705L shim in place
After clamping the shim in place, I used the holes in the F-705F channel to drill the holes in the F-705L shim. These holes are centered in the shim.
|
 Got the F-705K plate ready for final drilling
I took the thin shim out of the way of layed the F-705K plate directly on the F-705F channel and drilled one hole on each end of the plate, using the F705F channel as a drilling guide. Then I put the whole assembly (including the shim) back together. Tomorrow I will drill the rest of these holes.
