  • This looks like a case of get it right first time or it's staying a mess forever. No way you're getting a file in there are you?

  • You could use a small rotary file, I guess..

  • Die grinder or Dremel

  • Well. There is loads of ways to work it.
    I do the fish mouth first. Belt sander is quick.
    Then fill it with brass and pull it into the tube with a bit of heat.
    Now needle files and emory cloth should clean it up nicely.
    The photo is pre soaking it in water which makes it look bad. But I reckon just sand blasting this should get it close enough to acceptable once powder coated. I might not worry to much about this as finishing the bike a riding around with my daughter is first priority.
