I have a set of each so I can check tomorrow, these are the double bend from the front. I could be thinking of the Weinmann pre bends to be thinner though  :crazy2:

Thanks for that :daumenhoch:

Now for my second question.
Do you think if I gently heated an annoed blue double bend lever I could make it into a pre bend without any damage to the colour?

Cheers Steve.

Just checked and they are the same thickness and length  :daumenhoch: have no idea about the heating and ending route though, might be better to try and get  the one you want  :-\

If it's annodised and you try to bend it - it will loose the colour/ fade in colour on the bend, as you bend it

if you are going to re-anno it or paint it - you can bend it slowly - if you are skilled enough  ???

Always used to bend my levers bitd, you have to take it slowly though but they will go (not sure about keeping the colour though).
