Just make a z-bend w/o damaging the clevis part of z-bend other-wise the servo holes will get bigger and slop will occur.Du-Bro make some z-bender tools that doesn't flatten clevis part of bend. This method looks good also and you don't need a z-bender tool,just don't flatten the clevis part of bend.Also by using heat shrink you can adjust before you apply CA.
