I normally make a wooden buck to the shape that I want ultimately the piece to be. I have done this with many types of cast pieces. Than what I do is put the piece in question in the oven (when the wife isn't home) and let it warm for 2 hours or more at 450 degrees. I than slow bend the part back into with clamps to the contour of the buck that I made.

I will be doing this in the next couple of weeks on an antique rowboat motor. I will try to take some pictures.
