Pulling a Dent out

cornish rattler · Jul 5, 2015

Hi guys

We are going to repaint the 90 this weekend coming weather permitting but i have a large deep dent in the N/S/F wing from off roading, i am not to mythered about the dent its self but we are going to roller it and the dent mite be awkward to paint with a roller.

so was thinking if i drill a small hole in the dent and screw a screw into the hole would i be able to pull the dent out, not too bothered how it looks just as long we can paint it, what do you think

can you not get a hammer up behind it?

can't really tell, but if it's bad the metal stretches so it'll never be perfect.

Have used a longish piece of wood with end shaped to the profile of the wing to knock out the worst from the inside after removal of eyebrow.

Depending on the size of the dent (which I can't see in the pictures), try a suction dent puller (in the machine mart catalogue).
self tapper and pliers will pull the worst of a dent out, but will leave a messy eruption.

Glue a bolt or similar onto it and pull it out with a slide hammer or even a piece of strong cord/thin rope.
Personally ( if the dent bothered me) I'd be tempted to take the wing off and attack it from behind.

Just take the outer skin off to panel beat it. If I kin do it anybody can.

If you are nto worried about the looks and it is just so that you can roller paint it that does not look like a large enough dent to cause you any problems. I have just rollered my series 3 and did not straighten any of that out first. If you are using a foam roller you can use the end like a paint brush to get paint into the difficult cracks and crevasses and then roller over the top to get an even finish
