Does anyone know an easy way to bend hinge eyes or have some straight-forward plans for a hinge eye bender?

use a piece of round barstock thats the same or very slightly larger diameter as your hinge pins as a cold form, clamp it in a vice, heat your hinge, wrap the strap tabs that will form the sleeves around this rod, do this loosely, remove the hinge from the rod, set aside to cool, do NOT quench, after their cool to the touch tweak them by placing them back on the barstock and peen them tight, knock them off, heat them to non magnetic and let air cool ( normalize)
