...so making brackets from 1/4" plate can be a challenge, especially when bends are involved, and I can really use a way to break 1/4" plate, and I had a decent press, so I made a jig for making up to about maybe 4" breaks, which worked great (so far) for making the rear upper shock towers. I used a sanding flapper disc on my grinder to shape the wedge, and used a death wheel to cut/shape the grooves - worked great
