how to bend aluminum?

im adding some cooling rails on my snowmobile that would fit along side my foot boardsi need to bent the railsthey are made of hollow aluminumi was wondering how cani do this without cracking iti only need to bend it about 3/4 of an inch.

Answer:

Yes, you can heat it up and bend itRemember also that aluminium has a very low melting point so be very careful if you use this methodI have had great luck with filing the tube with sand then bend itThe sand helps to keep it from colapsing and or breakingJust be sure to clean it out well before you go any further.
Berries are high in fiber as well as the forgotten guavaMost people don't know that guava has the most fiber per serving, than any other fruitDon't forget about dried fruits.their lack of water concentrates their fiber content, so reach for the raisins, dried apricots, figs, dates and prunesAlmost all fruit is high in fiberYou get alot more if you eat the skinResist peeling apples, plums, peaches.they're much better for you if you eat their jackets.
