All dimple died, now to work on the swing out hold down.

Template the cap, a bend here, a bend there. 2 scratch built hinges.

I should have planned it better cause when I got to the bottom I found that it wouldn't hinge correctly unless it was notched. Too late, analyse, over come and recover.

cap flipped out. Came out pretty good.

4 hours, 10 bucks in material and some head scratching to avoid buying a $40 battery tray. It was a good exercise for all. We are having fun doing it.

2 turn quick release hold down done. Painted up and installed. This Baileigh brake works great!!
I can't wait for the next brake project we have lined up.

You will not regret it. It's a great tool to have. I don't know how many times I have been limited to bending cause it was impossible on the conventional benders.

As I was going through my wishlist put together while up at Mark Gerish's Academy for the Art of Metal shaping and shopping on Baleigh's website I figured I would hijack the Magnetic Brake thread for a second for another kick ass Baleigh machine I used while there...


About a year ago I bought a Baleigh BR-18E-24 Power bead roller and have fudged my way through a few projects (thus taking the metal shaping classes to learn the right way ) and I got to use this bad boy. The BR-16E-36!!! I rolled out the sheet metal door panel in the pic on day #2 and felt like a superhero! After coming back home and using mine again I'm realizing how freaking nice that machine was!


I need to finish some more cars so I can buy more tools!!

just knowing how the metal will react when you impose your will on it is an art of its own. nice work on that piece. thats a great machine.
