Tilt-back legs ?

moocow	Tilt-back legs ? Your solution is much better than mine. I just take a 4X4 piece of wood and whack at the dent until it straightens out. Much noiser, but it works well and doesn't mar the metal surface. I've also used the wood-whacking technique to straightening out bent Fender tilt-back legs. I place the legs on a carpet, then whack the bumps until they are flat. I'm sure the clamp method can be applied here as well. Any other methods of straightening out tilt-back legs ?
