Made a wooden die and clamp. Chain stays sure took some bending though, pretty much all my weight/strength using about 1m meter of extension over the length of the stay. You have to bend around 2 to 3 times further than you want as the steel is very springy, you have to keep them in a straight plane, and do two exactly the same! I could really do with a hydraulic press. Still, its an improvement on last time:
