Hello, William
It is pretty difficult to get rid of that slight bow.
But, as you noted, it goes away with a little pressure.
When you assemble it in place, make sure it is straight, that's all.
Happy building

Ive built the 48 bending brake from the plans
provided by Zenith. The brake came out pretty well
aligned up to a
millimeter precision. The hinges where welded using a
jig that ensured accurate alignment and there is no
play in it. However, bend like the spar cap doublers
(48 .040) comes out slightly bowed. When placed over
a flat surface the center raise around 3 millimeters.
I takes almost no pressure to align it into place but
when release it spring back to its bowed form. Is
there anyone out there who have this brake and have
been able to get better bends?. Can I still use the
part?.
