Help making two identical landing gear legs.

Hi all. I am wanting to bend the landing gear for my RM +P and have trouble making two that are identical. I saw somewhere that one fellow was somehow bending two wires at the same time, thus making them the same. They were attached to each other somehow, but I can't remember if they were just soldered together, or were done in some other manner. Any help on jogging my memory would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I posted that.
I soldered two pieces of 1/8" wire together, bent them, then melted the solder.
Solder melts in the 400-450 degree range. You need to get steel up over 1500 degrees to damage the metalurgy.

I've been bending both LG legs at the same for many years. I simply masking tape the two pieces of wire together and bend. Simple.

There's a simple idea that I never though of. Thank you.
