QueSeraSara-
bodged as i don’t have a vice. used 5mm rod (https://www.diy.com/departments/varnished-drawn-steel-round-bar-l-1m-dia-5mm/254224_BQ.prd) and generally g-clamped it to a table in between some ply offcuts, used my hands to bend it or another pipe sleeved over it as a lever, bent around an old stem for the under-stem bend to get the radius right

sure it’s been done before but needed a stem mounted support for a light front bag that would clear my light, considered shelling out the best part of one hundred bob on a nitto/jack solution, opted for the £3 rod from b&q instead. will coat in heatshrink and round off/seal the ends
