That looks too distorted to hope it will straighten out when installing.

I personally would try straightening by tapping down with a piece of brass & hammer. Hard to tell from photo, but might even be able to flatten in a vice.

Don’t keep it in the dustbin though

If your local tip wont accept it, try contacting a few local car garages to see if they will take from you, might have to pay though

I’ll give you your due, you’re always busy fabricating & doing work on your cars. Nice job

Before we lop ‘em off, does anyone know if these tabs are meant to be left on for any reason? :-k I’m guessing they are just where they are suspended for dipping or something, as I don’t recall the old skin having them and I’m sure they would foul the glass.

The scary thing is the cam sprocket is aluminium and nylon !

Good news to hear you are on the road to a full recovery

Grace is my mate Colin’s daughter, she’s a very talented fabricator & welder. Loves her car & racing, she used to do the clutch in one of the funny cars, but mainly crews for Don these days

At least it’s only your time & not a shops time, I’d hate to think of the bill

Progress looks great from the photo updates

Wow, that’s a tough one to take again…..
