cast tail lamp arm
I have a cast tail lamp arm that looks twisted when mounted on the car. Do you think I can heat it with a torch & try to slowly bring it back straight without it breaking?

Re: cast tail lamp arm
cast wouldn't do well with bending. But it bent without heat. Made worth a try?

Re: cast tail lamp arm
I'm guessing it was hit at one time. It's really stiff. Can't believe it left the factory like that.

Re: cast tail lamp arm
How about a picture? Is it cast iron, cast aluminum or cast recycled beer cans?

A picture would sure help.
