Default Equipment problem

I have a giant scale Taylorcraft with a 9ft wingspan that I built last winter. Right now it is on wheels but since I spend my weekends at my cottage I have decided to put it on floats. I bought a float kit for a giant scale cub which is made by Sig. Installation is pretty much forward but the problem is this kit was designed for a cub and the wire bracing is too narrow for Taylorcraft fuse. Cubs fuse is 6" wide Taylorcraft is 10". I bought new wire figuring I could make new bracing but the thick wire 3/16 thick is impossible to bend clean and straight. Looks like its never going to fly off water unless I can get this bracing figured out. Any thoughts?
