Argghh Fujitsubo - Can i fix a bent tip?
After a rather long customs clearing process (a new shipping system here in Aus crashed quite badly and grounded all shipments for weeks), my Fujitsubo gear has finally arrived
but as always there's gotta be something wrong.....one of the tips has a slight bend, which is weird because the box isnt damaged at all
i really cbf waiting another 6 weeks for a replacement, especially having waited so long already
since the bend is rather small and right on the edge of the tip, do u think it could be tapped out by the exhaust installer? has anyone had a similar bend and tapped it out successfully?

Simple fix........
Slip the tip over the heel of a round tipped anvil and remold it by firmly pressing down on each side of the dented area, you'll never be able to tell it was there....
Whatever you do, dont try to tap it out because you'll end up pinging and stretching the metal.......All it takes is gentle but firm pressure
