I need to get a small dent filled, before sending frame to the chromers, what's best to get it done with?

Cheers

Hi Frazer,

I can get that done for you fella.

If you send it to me, I will get it done, then take to lee to be chromed as he isn't far away from me.

Where is the dent, and how bad is it?

Cheers

Weeksy

what about filling it with Lead

...

It will help it get somewhere near the weight of a new school bike then...

I have seen this tecnique used by panel beaters becausu of its ease to reshape.

bollox, wish i'd seen that earlier weeksy, took it to some local metal work place today, feck knows what they did but it looks like it's been filled with weld, then plained to a lower level, only over where the dent was, I'm now filing/sanding the tube to try to get it to look normal again!!!
