Its not going to be bent up and down, only backwards a little bit so incidences wouldn't be changed. I was also told that it would be fine to bend it as long as I didn't plan on removing the stabs often. Im sure with the small amount though they could still be removed.

It wont really be bent, more like massaged as it wont take much, in fact they fit OK now, But I don't want the stress on the ply tabs from the bolts pulling it in constantly thats why I want to remove some pressure from them.

I was talked into doing the repair myself really, Which I agreed would be faster.
