Bender for small rods

[katy]

I made this a number of years ago for making spark and throttle rods for Model T Fords, and other bent rods.
A piece of 1/4"X 1-1/4" flat stock about 6" long, drilled and tapped holes to 5/16-18 thread, spaced holes to allow for different diameter rods.
I used allen bolts because they're tough and also w/the small heads they can be positioned close together for small rods.
