The lugs are cast HJ. I've done this angle bending a number of times before. Depending on the direction of the bending I have gotten up to 6* before. This is a lot more then i would suggest to try without some experience. I'll be using brass as the internal voids get pretty large by this point.
I hope to talk about this angle changing process with some real pros sometime in the future, maybe at the Phily show. Andy.
