801 side-pannier-rack

I did it with a vice and some tools at the workbench, but without heat.
On the pics the bracket is made from 3mm aluminum; it works fine with the lightweight rain gear in the pannier, but for some a tad heavier stuff I would use 4-5mm aluminum instead.
Thanks Tom, I knew it didnt look like 5mm! I have some 5mm, dont think it'll bend as neat as that. I'll get a piece of 4mm and compromise!!

5mm will also work fine.
Here some pics of a TomTom mount that I also fabricated from 5mm aluminum; the angle is also 90°; and I've bent it also without heat.
