Amen Hedd.
Bending can only be done properly with heat. It is the easiest way, the quickest way and the way Austin recommended to their dealer workshops.
It is the way John Dalby from Austin Seven Services always recommended to their customers.
It must be said that if the clutch backplate slots are badly worn (they often are) they need to be built up with weld something hard like stellite is good to use.
Then of course machining out.
This ensures getting the lever fulcrum in the correct place.
The correct distance from the lever to a straight edge across the back of the crankcase is exactly 1/4 inch and they must be exact!
I really hope this is helpful.
