Save your trouble Ill just work it out myself

Ive got to find a nice local sheet metal company to pit a bend in a strip of metal for me , what angle do you do them to mike ?

James

Not sure what you mean mike . Just measured the hole in the door Ive cut out and the thickness ranges from 1.05 mm on the straight flanges in the window aperture to just under 0.9mm where there is a bend formed.
