The structural tabs are made with a pair of 3" duckbill vise grips and a heat gun . As for radius, we didn't really measure it, we just allowed an extra 1/8" of material when bending the tabs. The whole deal is pop riveted together to make it robust and keep it lightweight.

Good Luck to you and your team!
