      TPI Runner Dents

      Anyone know of a good way to remove dents from TPI Runners? A kit you can buy, a shop that provides the service, and home remedy etc.
      Any help would be greatly appreciated!

      Never used these personally, but I have heard of people using them.

      Andrew,
      I have actually seen that kit on ebay and I have it saved. Just wanted to check and see if anyone had anything else that they have tried/used etc.
      That kit seems awfully reasonable to me......probably what I'll end up doing, just wanted to test the waters.
      Thanks for the info!

      I'd like to know how it works - how difficult do you think it will be to cram a steel ball down those runners (just how do you do that - its not a straight shot) let alone make them larger.

      I'm not 100% sure, but I think the kit comes with some wooden balls that you force in behind the machined steel ball with the steel ball doing the actual dent removal.

      One of the guys on another forum I belong to used that kit and it worked pretty well for him. Not that expensive either, if you wanted to give it a shot. The sellers feedback looks good, so no worries there.
