Hi all, I have the Griffon model German AFV tool holders set and and am having some issues trying to get the early type tool holders to look correct. I am finding that the bending method the instructions give causes me to double bend the clamping arm and and with thin brass like this it just breaks off. For instance I have to bend the arm down then curve it and bend it back over to connect with the locking pins other side of the clamp. Here's a link to the instructions for the early (and Late) clamps.

Any tips or referrals to a good article on doing this would be very helpful.
Thanks,
David.
