DIY Spot-Weld Dent Puller ... a real Frankenstein/Igor contraption.

<< < (3/3)

As you will know in the car trade  there are professional dent removers who use specially made "Spoons" I think they are called to reach behind a dent, the heat up the paint area and remove some pretty big dents without damaging the paintwork. I caught my front wing on a steel post on one of my vehicles a few years ago - I was quoted over £600 to fix it. I called out a mobile dent remover who removed it. He quoted me £90 but only charged me £50 as he was not 100 % happy with the end result. I was !

Surprised no one has designed a U shaped spoon that works.

Ted ..on the 500 tank the filler hole is off centre so on the side of my tank with the dents in it, it would be difficult to get anything inside, even with fancy bends. It takes a lot more force than you would think to press a deep dent out. For anyone with dents in a painted tank the guy not far from Mathewsons Auctions (think he is in Middleton N. Yorks) is magic at getting dentds out without damaging the paint. JamesH put me onto him ..not cheap though about £150 to take a dent out but much cheaper than a repaint.

JamesH:
Utterly mental and utterly brilliant as always Ash. I love these things you get up to.

Lovely bit of work there Ash, looks a bit bonkers and ingenious at the same time. Dave I’m with you. 🤣
