That's my tool for nice transitions. I just squeeze the tubing in the vice.
I used the mudguards on a 26" bike before so the stays were too short. For the front I made a new one from 6x1mm steel tubing that needs to be trimmed. It has a nice built in curve to pass the brake caliper. Then I noticed that I ran out of material so I made some "lugs" for the back and glued them on. Will get some more tubing and make a matching 6mm stay for the rear. Should be much stiffer than the original aluminium stays so it won't rattle and bend that easy. Besides that I quite like to build my own stuff, haha.
