Default Greddy fmic damage?

I damaged my greddy FMIC... the core is bent and looks terible but does not leak.I am curious if an of you have found a decent replacement, or do I have to pony up 1200 bucks for a new one ?

Or has anyone cut the end tanks off and weleded an new core in?

doesnt matter if its bent or dented. if you pressure tested it and its good, then its good.

Ouch!

I have not seen a direct replacement. You could have a shop build one for you or even maybe replace the core.

Any chance you could flip it around so that side isn't exposed to the front?

I would cut off the end tanks and use them on a new core. If you get me measurements of the core I may be able to help you.

I could flip it around...however the exit endtank is no centered so it would require the pipig to be re routed
