Dents

[Goman]

Anybody have any luck getting out dents like this working from the inside?
Thanks

no experience with those specifically, but something like that i would tackle by tacking or braising rods on the dent area, pull them and then smooth out over a mandrel. Is the long tapered end open? (if i couldn’t hook something inside the large end and press it out)

Tubs will chime in soon. He’s a master.

A "Boathouse Repair" is one thats done without having tools or the skills to do it properly.

The long tapered end is open at the end. It’s a thinner aluminum than the fuel tanks so I was hoping it would be more doable. I have the low temp aluminum rods maybe I can pin it then pull up on it? Then after I try a few more things and waste the day I can send it to Tubs guy. 😀

Wow. The one after that shows you how it’s done. Just gotta find a tuba repair place now. 🙂
