Hi all,
After removing the flaking paint from my tank, found 2 dents filled with a load of filler. Fair enough, its of an age but after many cups of tea I'm unsure of how to tackle straightening out the dents. I don't really want to filler them in again, and would like to repair and push them out straight again.
Hoping someone may have tackled this before?
My thinking so far is: 1. as the dents are opposite the filler neck, a pusher rod and heat couldn't be done due to not having the access, without making access, as the tunnel is in the way 2. Possibly cut a small access hole in the base of the tank to get said pusher rod and heat to massage the dents out. 3. Carefully cut out the dents and form 2 new curved panels to be brazed/tig'ed back in.
Or pay someone handsomely to sort it out and entrust them with making the right call!
Would appreciate any help with the right way forward, thanks in advance.
