Damage Repair

How bent & where on the bars? Are the chassis mounts damaged?

Got any pics?

Years ago I bent mine up by hitting a large rock I think it was.
I took it off, put it on some flat hard ground(driveway) and drove over it with the patrol.
90odd% flat, but if I need to do it again, I will need to put something down for the ends, as they got badly scratched on the cement as it straightened.

Try Brown Davis Automotive in Bayswater. Speak with Kevin. Excellenty barwork.

You could park under a tree (or similar) and use a high lift jack, or hydraulic jack with a prop, and slowly apply downward pressure to get it straight.
May not get a perfect job, but should exert a more stable and controllable pressure than a fat guy jumping on it..

As said before. Do it on the grass so you dont scratch them put a block of timber each end to get them off the ground and stop them from digging into the grass then apply your car wheel to the affected area. by moving the timbers you can localize the area you want to straighten. Slightly over bend with the car on the rails as when the mass is removed they will spring back. Be mindfull that once bent you will always have a week spot.
To fix back to "new" you need to cut out the offending "bend" and slot in a new piece with sleeves on the welded joins.
