Ah, yes I think they got lost in a dropbox purge!
sorry.
It was quite a while ago (2014?) but if my memory serves. the fork crown must be protected in the jaws of the vice so you know you're bending the blades not stressing the joint - Cover vice jaws with something compliant (yellow stuff) -
All these steps are theoretical suggestions for how one might go about straightening a bent fork and what sorts of things you need to look out for.....
This is a bloody stupid thing to do and only a fool would do it.Having said that it worked fine on my Chas Roberts

I did something similar on a project a few years ago. My fork was only off side->side though.

@Rik_Van_Looy I was trying to find how you straightened the forks again on your rat but the photos are not working anymore.. I'm doing something similar atm so any tips on how you did it?
