Thanks! I have a pretty substantial brake, which I bought for the LTM1800 and it does good job forming the boom. Each section has two parts (bottom and top) and they soldered together. I did several test runs with short pieces to get the bending just right.
I will use Teflon tape to reduce friction between the sections.
