Improvised rear triangle jig

To bend the rear seat stays it helps to have a jig. I think I've put one together that'll work fine without having to weld it. It makes use of a big heavy brake drum that's been rusting in my yard for a few years. I expect to try it out tomorrow so I'll let you know how it goes. Here are pics of the jig. You have to heat the seat stays and bend them over that little pipe.
