I am prepping my original six engine tins for repaint. I have then all looking pretty straight except one end of the long piece that goes on the front of the engine.
Can anyone tell me what this end should look like?? The one in the picture appears to be kinked up, or is this the correct shape?? Should this end be "flat" or have this upturn?? Hope you can see by the pictures below. Thanks Attached thumbnail(s)   Attached image(s)

Thanks I should say they are kinked at the ends, perhaps so as to make things fit better. Just made a set of my own, and I must say I like the extra detail in the stock version. |

It should be flat.
That diagonal bend with the surface rust has to be worked out. And that square attached piece is supposed to be a bendable strap to hold the harness. Attached thumbnail(s)
