bent wishbone

[doghousedevil]

i scored a set of wishbone that are already split. i would like to run them, but one is bent. it is bent side to side, not up and down. is there any way i can save this to use? it is bent not creased.

I think with some heat at the bend it could be bent back in shape.

Got any pics?
That might help.

Bend it back.

Without crushing the tube.

Use a hydrolic press and put a piece of metal between the wishbone and press ram to keep from creasing it.

Use a rosebud to heat it up and put it in a press to straighten it out. They bend fairly easy with a little heat.
