The bending works fine. First bend it in at the existing "L" bends, then make a second bend out at the ears so the tabs will be parallel. This makes for an excellent rigid bracket with cable adjuster. I have this setup on my 1965 Holdsworth Italia Strada with Universal Mod. 61 brakes.
I am working on posting pics of this bike so you all can be amazed (and amused?)

Ahoy: Anyone know for certain if Weinmann offered rear brake cable hangers in different widths (at seat binder bolt) ?
I have a hanger @ approx 1 1/4 ins. though 1 in. would be more than adequate. I'll probably try bending it to smaller span before installation.
Just curious; my socks are not bunched in pedantic anxiety.
