Straightening an Endura
 

I did a lot of digging around to find out if there was some type of jig that helped get deformations out of an endura bumper. If you have a shop press it, with some tooling would be one way. I only had a port-a-power and a few heavy hammers. So I created a tool that worked very well to straighten 3 different endura bumpers I have. I wanted to see which one looked the best and fitted best when done to dertermine which to use.

After three or 4 version tweets I had a tool that worked.

If this benefits anyone else I can give dimensions to make your own.

I would think a bottle jack would work in place of a port-a-power.

Love it! Great idea

Nice job!

That looks great. When I did mine I was using al kinds of things to hold one part & twist another. Nice job!
That no doubt works nice for those tough concentrated areas. :thumbup:

There was someone a while ( decade at least ) who had made up some jig from an I-beam for this task.

I believe they post, or posted, on here… Seemed that contraption would be good for getting a twisty taken care of. The rub being its overall size and weight. You fixture, while maybe not able to fix a twisty that easily, is small and nimble.

I need to learn how to weld.
