I then painted the wishbones black because it makes them look nicer although totally unnecessary and had to do touch ups where I've scraped them doing other jobs which is annoying

you're right about the cost of the press though I did the same thing but non hydraulic which was my mistake because annoyingly I did then break it by adding a bar onto the arm for extra pressure and the whole casting just snapped right down the middle lol

still the job gone done and it was cheaper than new wishbones .. so I didn't lose any sleep

tonnage I would say at least 3 possibly more but that's on the basis that my 2 tonne press wasn't sufficient (although, oddly it did do the 1st one?) weird
