Default Pipe Repairs

Hey,

Heres a tip that u all probably know but ill post it anyway... I had a pipe that had the absolute shit bent out of it with dings and crap all over it and then i took it too my mate who is a panel beater and all he did was heat it up with an oxy and popped the dings out with a screw driver and bent the stinger back without breaking it or damaging the pipe at all.... now it looks awesome

Next time your expensive pipe gets bent up, take it to a panel shop hehe....

or fill it up with water then plug the ends (it has to be full) also water tight put it in the freezer overnight next day good as new no more bends

Dont forget to support the pipe with cable ties across the full length of it. Of course you would need to leave those cable ties loose that are around the area of the dint. So when the pipe does expand it wont go out of proportion, only the reigon that is bent in will pop back out.

Cheers Bill
