FRODO,

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; and you wonder why you got banned today?

Charles, silly question, the picture looks are deceiving, how wide is that RR track ?

I am upset, the thread is only 3 pages long. I was digg'n it, .i believe i know what to do with my RR track now nice job Charles, looks good

yeah man,,,that can be fixed, do not cut it off!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! what you need is a die for the threads, then, gently, tap the pipe back to round, do not worry about the threads just get it back to round. then, run the die on the pipe. its called chasing the threads, the die will cut the bent metal out of the threads use PLENTY of oil,,,,dripping with oil, pour oil on the die and threads as you recut the threads heat at this point is your enemy, oil will keep the metal cool as you recut the picture is deceiving, the size looks like 2'' you can rent a "ridgid ratchet die" at most rental stores or have a plumber buddy drag his home to you
