[QUOTE="Bugpac, post: 262343, member: 1862"] 6061-t4 is what your looking for. Do some research. Sorry to challenge your 100 yrs of boat building experience and what not. But 6061 is indeed formable, in t4 temper, but it is recommended to have 6 x the radius as the thickness, now for a guy bending brackets in his vice etc, this probably isn't gonna fair well, and if it does, especially seeing its a bracket, all the little stress cracks you nor I can see, may break later on. So now I ask, why would someone recommend the wrong material for the job? As for the heat, when you heat aluminum your tempering it, thus making it less workable and more fragile. It's great to have opinions, as well all do, but just because you did it or I did it, doesn't mean its right. [/QUOTE]
