try a trailer maker. They have sheet benders and should be able to bend it up for you. I got a guy in Dandenong to bend me some fenders for the tray of the Zuk. Just gave him a drawing like yours and he bent them for me on the spot cost me $60 for two. Can't remember who he was though

the place i use is GBM Sheetmetal in Hoppers Crossing. they are next to bunnings on the side street. they made my petrol tank bash plate and also do all our sheetmetal stuff for work. sorry i dont have a phone number but my work phone shat itself last friday and i lost all my numbers.

Just wondering why do you want it bent with 3 sides ? you could get a piece rolled a slightly larger diameter and it will be a clean guard no edges to hang up on ....

its actually going inside the 4x4 not outside im raising the gas tank up through the floor in the hope of getting enough ground clearance under it that it wont need one underneath

and i figure the flatter sides will make it easier to pack stuff around it

If you need, I can do it but I am located out in Cranbourne - not exactly local to you.

I have 8' folder and gillo for up to 2mm steel
