I considered using the fork bridge to bend the rack, but think I'll do this off the bike in a vice. Being chrome plated and 44 years old just want to play it safe, although alu the rack is quite beefy. Good shout on the fork mounted cable hanger, was worried the stem mounted unit might kink the cable slightly as there's not a lot of room.

You can use the frame itself as an anchor to bend the center strut. Just leave the canti posts un mounted, but the center done up tight and pull up. I’ve done it, worked well.
Also you can mount a fork mounted cable stop behind the rack to get a good straddle cable angle and decreased shutter.
