Ya, this happened to me and then I put some chassis braces to make it stronger and less flex and it worked

Not having chassis support is the problem. There are alot of methods to getting them straight again. I would put it in a vice, if you have one. You could also lay it on somthing hard and use the old school method (hit it with a hammer). Once you have them straight, be sure to shore up the weakness with some braces, you can use some 4-40ss allthread and nuts to make your own. |

| +1. If ya have to, cut down some Bic pens and use your longest screws you have that'll fit the TVP's holes. Secure the screws. The pen will act as a brace, and if you can get each of the pen's holes over each screw (be creative), it shouldn't slide out. Last edited by JeepinOR; 08-17-2009 at 10:47 AM. |
