Sorry, missed the part in your post about the angle.
Using a Johnson angle finder protractor thing I got, I measured mine at 90 degrees on the deck part and 70 degrees on the frame part; so the angle is 160 degrees by my measurement.
ETA: do you have a shop press or a big vise and a pipe? I would think bending it cold would be better for the part than heating it; might change the temper of the metal.
