Thanks for the tips. Spoke to phil re repair once the post is out. Another idea is to lose the top, extend the slit at the back and thinking a bit about clamp placement. Really like the quill post idea, found this which fits the bill, in the states tho.
The mangled mess is a result of the previous owners attempt with heat on the alu post, steel frame and yes the paint is already fucked. Again thanks for the tips.
