Whenever I need to spread frames or forks I first establish the alignment base line. With a fork if I find that the fork is splayed to the left side I will bend out the right blade first. Then recheck the splay/alignment and drop out width before the next bending.
I figure if I'm bending metal I might as well do as little as possible to both end up where I want to be WRT alignment and axle fit. Andy.
