90mm TB inlet flange bent W/ Pics Guys I just bought this FAST 90/90 off a member here. I received it today and opened the package to find this......
I'm not coming here to throw the member under the bus. This could have happened in transit and most likely did. And I could only imagine how hard it is to come back on the shipping company. I want to gently bend or tap it back but I would like your recommendations on how to do so. And will the aluminum crack and break off if I do so?
Thanks

I would just try to gently bent it back while trying to keep it as symmetric as possible. You will have a rubber coupling on it, so if its not perfect, it's not big deal as long as you get it to seal properly. If it was me, I'd see if a machine shop could do something for me.
