That is surprising that you would need a support. When I had this on the vice it took a good deal of effort to bend.
Yours will bend again. They are hardened steel, but they bend at the weld, so bend that rod all you want it will just bend itself more at the weld. I put my brace on about 5 yrs ago and have not had a problem since. I also bought a Lokar gas pedal assembly at the same time and have not had to put it in yet. Brace it or get a Lokar pedal
