Up early and bored. So decided to dog ear 5 channels. Really need to get a vice as Iv cut my left hand into mince!

But can really notice the difference so my cut up

Scrimming finger will get it easy today!

 
7am pah! That nothing. Was up at 5:30 lol.

Good thinking with the dog earring, does it need to be a perfect cut to work ??

Need to try this on mine really, just not got round to it!

 
I was up at 5:30!! Lol..

I just used a dopey wee hack saw cut down about 8mmish then hammered a chisel down to open it up then pliers to put into shape. The wee bit I bent out is only 2-3mm. I can see stress marks on the aluminium wagtail channel but all working a lot better! I also trimmed the rubbers slightly so there is very little on each side

 
I thought we'd got and exhibitionist in our midst when I read the title there Belfast, Done all mine now as well and boy is it better, so little detailing.

There's really nothing to it. You should have a square end on the channel, cut 2-3mm off each end. Turn the channel downwards so that the back is facing up. Using the back edge as a guide, cut in 10mm from both sides. No need to bend outwards, just bend the 'tab' down with pliers, so that it is just short of touching the rubber when in. Do not let it obstruct the rubber. remember to file off any sharp corners and burrs. One other tip, do not whack a dent in the back to hold the rubber, use the end clips (of course, if you are doing a Wagtail, then you can't do that).
