would be interested to know how to remove a dent in a front pipe, as to the best of my knowledge they were double skinned. Well done Ted for re-homing them!

My friend Graham Curtis has refurbished a few sets to lovely re-chromed condition. He even made a resin press tool to make repair pressings to replace the bottom half of the collector box. I think on dents he used some kind of high temperature braze to fill the dents, that is compatible with the chroming process and the chrome doesn't peel when it gets really hot. Good on you Ted for not binning them and offering on here.

Oddjob:
As for the dent, I’m not saying it can be removed without some specialist work, more that it can be blended in, just remove the scratches and flatten the surface, when you get it either rechromed or ceramic coated the damage should be almost unnoticeable.

Bloggs:
Many thanks Ted, Safety collected.

Bugger, hadn’t seen this, I’d have snapped your hand off. Never mind I’ll keep looking. Well done that man
