How to bend a track?

1. Identify the front and back of the track.

2. Measure out each bend of your bay and mark it on the track.

3. Gently bend the track on your knee. Please note to bend the track only slightly at the first try as the track won’t easily bend back if we over bend it, then check the angle as you go and decide whether to bend more.

4. From the track ends, trim off the excess tracks.
