I think I got'r. Sorry for the long winded rants but I'm struggling a bit. I suck at math but I "assumed" that my bend angles should add up to 90 degrees on each side.
The top is horizontal and the bottom legs are straight up. The top protractor clearly measured at 75 degrees. The lower one was reading between 16 and 17 degrees. Again I "assumed ' it SHOULD be 15 degrees. I thought maybe the PVC was flexing in the 110 degree plus temps in my garage. I bent it to 15 knowing I can bend it more but I can't unbend it.
It was just under an inch too wide at the bottom to go in the cab. The 25 degrees of rotation must be the reason the angles don't have to add up to 90 degrees. I'm guessing.
I'll fine tune the bends and trim the extra length from the ends when I get back from Wisconsin.
