Awesome job mate! I probably would have just thrown it out but it seem you got it back to a pretty good shape. Does it line up well each end still?

Noted Marty450.

Great job Mick. I have one in the shed for you to do! From a Murph ride as well. I hope the 300 is back in showroom condition. If only I had a gas axe.

Wow that’s fancy. You can’t muck around with this stuff though can you. Easy to get injured or killed. Good stuff!

Ah one more thing, if that’s the stock pipe keep a close eye on that spot. Has a tendency to start cracking there and open up.

Nice set up. What pressure did you put in it?

Thanks,
50 psi will get em out on a stock pipe with some heat and your looking upto 70 psi with heat on a gnarly pipe.
And of course the amount of pressure depends on the size of dent.
Just start low and work your way up till it pops. :side:
Also the relief valve is set to 70 psi so no blow outs! :laugh:

Well yes on that setup there is. What I meant is I’ve seen other do this without anything of the sort so I’m pretty sure blowing out the cork at then end at high pressure will earn them a hole in the head.
I’ll be trying mine in the freezer one day, now I’ve got a deep freezer….
