bending an aluminum header

[Michael Ramsey]

If you're worried about kinking, consider filling up the header with a
fine grain sand and plugging both ends of the header before bending.
Instead of a dowel, use a pipe over the header to leverage the end of
the header into the position you want after evenly heating the header.

Subject: bending an aluminum header

Since we are on the topic of aluminum, what is the best way to make a
slight bend in an aluminum header?  I need it to move maybe 1/4" to 3/8"

at the outlet end of the header. Thanks!
