Rearward, I've had a look at sheldons suggestions but I'm not confident. More than anything I'm mostly upset because I've been having a nightmare of a year already, and this is just another notch to add to the clusterfuck of 2017.
Ah well, I'll keep an eye out for some scaffold pole, and see if I can get my hands on a car jack at some point.

And buy a brake? :)

Okay, mine had to go sideways by about 11mm. It took me quite a while to do it ... after each adjustment reassembling and measuring. A frame builder would be in the best position to adjust forks, but as they are forks and there's no knowledge of any previous adjustments/bends, I doubt they'd want to certify or put their name to that work. I knew mine hadn't been bent before.

What direction are the forks bent in? If it's a sideways kink they can be adjusted. I've done this with my own forks. Cold-setting is something that all steel frames go through as final adjustments whilst being built. Paint stress marks doesn't necessarily mean the steel is ruined. Steel can flex much more than paint.
