@Bernhard: Fine craftmanship again! I'm happy to learn you mess a few during the process. Makes it more human, thus achievable. I'm always thrashing a lot of pieces when dealing with bend wire.

Matt, my idea.
Do not use too soft wire. A bent wire must hold its shape even during a more heavy fixing for next steps.
I prefer to use medium-hard nickelsilver in most cases or alternatively phosphor-bronce offered by Tichy as a very good material.

And a picture more of a mistake while building a brake gear for my Decker reefers.



One should not try to change the position permanently mounted parts with heavy pressure.
