Now how did that happen

[TomTint]

So as I'm cutting film tonight from the FH, I look at one of the risers that hold the spool, and it is BENT. And bent a lot. That thing had to get hit hard but I can't recall it happening. Now I have to try to bend it back or buy a new one. FUG!

You better get out the big hammer.

I don't think I want to hit it while it attached to the FH. The base where the riser slides is thinner than the riser itself. I think it could mess up the track before the riser bends back. Maybe a vise and some heat? The thing is like 3/8 aluminum....how the F did it bend.

I would try putting it in a wise if you have one. Then eithet bend it by hand or with rubber mallet.

No vise in the garage. Prolly need to go to a friends shop.

My FH has its own special place in the van. No sliding around at all. The thing is bent like 1/2". Someone needs a beat down.

Any "odd" marks on it other than just being bent?

Nothing noticeable, it is just odd. That thing had to get slammed somewhere and I can't imagine when or where it happened
