The rail is one piece stainless steel which I am fairly certain is OEM. What concerns me is how to apply enough torque to the rail to bend it without crimping it. The block and plywood suggestion sounds pretty good, but would a bending tool, such as an electricians pipe bender or conduit bender work on heavy stainless steel?
