[TowerTalk] Redressing / straightening aluminium elements.

[WØQFC]

Robert:
I would think that heating the elements would not be a good idea. The 
melting point of aluminum is 1220 F and I think that you would deform the 
element and weaken it if you get it hot enough to bend it.
I have successfully used a steel rod forced into the element. If you can 
find a rod near enough to the id of the element, you can come up with a 
decent job.
Just my 2c worth. . . .
