bending the marquee retainer
spacies:
Easiest solution would be to find a sheet metal shop and have one made.
Lucky to be $10.

here's how i'm going to bend mine...
figure out how long the side of the triangle(x) would be to match the angle that i want the bend to be...
clamp two straight edged boards on a flat surface x distance apart...
lay the 'angle iron' flat inside of the channel that was just created by the two parallel boards so the angle is pointing straight up...
lightly tap with a rubber mallet so the two sides of the 'angle iron' spread out and make contact with the two boards...keep doing this all of the way down the piece...
simple and easy... :cheers:
