GT380 carb bellmouth damage
Hi, has anyone managed to successfully pull a dent out of the side of the carb bellmouth on a GT380 (it looks like it's been dropped on its side?). It'll affect the flow of air i suspect so i need to know if there's any way i can 'pull' it back out and to as near origional shape as possible without splitting or damaging it beyond repair. Many thanks in advance.

Heat and prayer.

Think of how stupid the average person is, then realise that half of them are more stupid than that.

Thanks, i had though about trying this but just wanted to see if anyone else had a better way of doing this. Whereabouts in S.Yorks are you? I was born in Rossington. Cheers for the reply
