Dent in top leg 45 Shiver
Anybody have any clever ideas for removing a dent out of the top leg? Previous owner modified the steering stop screws allowing too much travel. Top tube impacted the frame at full lock. I've tried a small hammer, a heavy drift punch & a tailpipe expander. The dent is very small, but it is binding at the very end of its travel. Has anyone been successful in repairing a dent?

Thanks for the reply Yes, that crossed my mind. I'll see what I can find used, if not off to the machinist.

I wonder if you could weld on a tab and use a dent puller to pull it out.

That ally is strong as hell! The dent is smaller than you think, but that last bit of the kink just won't go back. I think welding would surely cause warpage issues? I did the best I can, I think it is more economical to find a used one.

Do a KYB conversion.
Moving forward, everything will be easier. |
