Ed Kennell 36,138 #2 Posted April 10, 2023 A guy with a name like "Metal Blender" should be able to bend that back straight. 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
peter lena 8,142 #3 Posted April 10, 2023 @METAL BENDER have a pipe / conduit bender and a solid vise ? or a floor press , the stronger your hold point the easier it will bend, have a large truck frame you can fit that into ? might even put that in a press . pete 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ri702bill 7,484 #5 Posted April 10, 2023 Agreed - looks like maybe, just maybe..... the deck got installed before without the fork seated as it was intended....?? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
peter lena 8,142 #6 Posted April 11, 2023 @ri702bill agree with that , possibility , almost looks like it was pulled at that point . have a regular hook up , and detailing on installation , also every thing is lubed and moves with ease . only do that on my stuff , pete Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
