I used a torch and various clamps and wood or steel stock. Heat along the bend line until it appears wet and then bend into shape and hold until it cools
It can take awhile for the plastic to cool enough to stay in position, especially for thicker material. I've used a compressed air gun, works, or a spray bottle of water, better, to speed the cooling process.

Thanks for all the help got it done last night. Making the brake made it so easy to bend.
