Get a piece of 4x4 wood drill holes in the steel, screw it to yhe wood evenly then bend it on the corner of the wood.

Would love to know how you bend it evenly after you screw it to the wood. You'd have to beat it and it would not be a nice bend. And it would be full of holes with divots all around them from deflection. Would look like crap.
T-Dogg - the 16Gauge at 6' length is not going to bend easy. It pretty much needs to go in a huge metal break. (a sheetmetal tool) Being only 6" wide does not help, hard to clamp.

You can buy replacement rockers. I saw some advertised a couple weeks ago...I just can't remember where I saw them  . |

T-Dogg,
They have a large sheet metal brake at the CFB Halifax auto club. I'm pretty sure it's over 6' long. I need to go and do my battery cables and alternator this week, probably Sat. We could bend them then if you don't find another place to do it.
