I don't think it'll try to flip, since the pressure is working towards the bend and not away from it. Being you used hardened steel, and as long as you didn't use heat to bend it, I think it'll work fine. Hardened steel is hard to bend. Did you use a "captured" design on the fork, or just poking through it?
And yes, Jared is pretty good at designing stuff and coming up with good ideas.
Glad to see you're making real progress on the car.
