I have a friend that's a very successful A7 VSCC trials competitor. A while back he bent an axle tube. He's a farmer by profession (those that know will now realise who he is!!) and he regularly deals with an agricultural engineer for repairs to his machinery. These people are used to repairs to very heavy components and think out of the box. He took the bent axle tube to his man who set it up in his very large, heavy duty, agricultural engineer's lathe, wound the cross slide tightly into one end of the axle tube and set the lathe going on a very slow feed! Two passes and one straight axle tube resulted!!
