    VL Bent Cross-over Tube

    Good Morning I'm working on a 1932 VL frame with a bent cross-over tube. I was wondering if anyone has had any experience in straightening one of these.

    That is a fairly easy fix compared to some things. As much as I hate to put heat to a frame I do not mind having to use it here because a failure would not be terminal. I usually knock the bushings out and use a shaft that is a loose fit to force it straight. Replacement is not out of the question either.
