I would like to get a few opinions on this.

I picked up a brand new Greddy 4 row core (long discontinued) and USPS decided to beat the package up damaging one of the end tanks. It doesn't look too bad but I'm concerned about it affecting functionality. Does anybody have any experience in fixing something like this? Is it possible? How much do you think it would cost? Getting a new one is not an option so I have to work with what I got.

 

is it just the 'out' side? Can you post up more pictures?

 

Core is undamaged. It's just the inlet to one of the end tank. I'm wondering if this would be something a fabricator can fix. I assume it would have to be heated and or bend back to shape and repolished. I'm pretty pissed since I paid a lot of money for this FMIC and even if I get compensated by USPS I can't find a replacement. I literally spent 2.5 years looking for this thing.

 

I guess that's the 'in' side...it's my opinion youre freaking out over nothing...Id wrap it in electrical tape (inside and out) wrap a pair of pliars in electrical tape and do my best to make it as circular as possible...you're going to have coupler there right I think the coupler will seal up just fine and hide any imperfections...
