Step 13 PRE-BEND CONTACTS

In the next step, the flexible contacts will be wrapped tightly around the crossbar.  But to make that process easier, we will first pre-bend the contacts a little.  Take a pack of Post-It Notes and tear off a chunk of notes that is the same thickness as the crossbar.  Then, use the Post-It Notes as a template to fold the flexible contacts at a sharp 90 degree angle.
