Buggered a E&P Jack plate.

No need to use a hammer to straighten it, you are better off putting it upside down on a couple of bricks with space in between and putting the jack leg back down on it...
If the truck bent it, the truck will straighten it.

Pressed mild steel. A couple of wood blocks and your lump hammer would soon have that near enough straight.

Equestrian centre have blacksmiths equipment

That would be extremely unlikely. Farriers visit equestrian centres in their vans with furnace, etc onboard

Good to see shaft of hammer is from FSC timber.

Bent mine the same driving off an uneven pitch, not to that extreme though, it annoys the hell out of me every time I look at it, what was the cost if you don’t mind me asking.
Depending on the price will be the difference to levering it or getting new

Mine was £25! And its the large one, so I would be pushed to get a workshop to repair mine for that I think? UPS delivering this afternoon if their tracking is to be believed!

Get the original straightened and and keep it as a spare as your bound to need it again.

I've never had any trouble with hydraulic levellers on my vans...

Excellent, thanks for that, for some reason I had it my head that it would be silly money.

Cheers

A bargain me thinks
Especially as they agreed to ship to you before you’d agreed to pay

So why no ask for the farriers details and go to them.?

It is silly "small" money!

Shows how Mick holds me in high esteem. I daren't mention how much the UPS was!

 

[Vipar]

Southdowners ? £25 cost you more to travel to the farrier

 

[sallylillian]

For those who want me to get it straightened, make me an offer as is, say £12.50 collected in cornwall and you can have it. Deal of the century!

I think you misunderstood my post. You suggested taking the part to an equestrian centre as they had blacksmith equipment. I pointed out that it was unlikely as farriers visit equestrian centres with their own equipment.

I wasn’t suggesting Michael take it to them.

Go to a local fabrication firm and they’ll make you half a dozen for £20...

Is that a fixed price quote?

they’ll charge 3 times as much up your way Robert what with all them rich people up there....?

 

[sallylillian]

I wouldn't get out of bed for £25! Let alone pick up a hammer!

Nor had I for 7 years, but this was trouble with Dumbo, me!

Because they'll be at the equestrian centre!

2 bricks and a few seconds applying 12 tonnes of pressure using another leg as a press. it will bend back super easy

 

[Rudski01]

The problem is, if it’s straightened you will work harden it, it was shaped originally in manufacture then bent on a curb and then again to rectify, it would possibly just crack when on a slightly uneven surface anyway, best place for it.. The Skip

Ssh don't say that I might still get takers at £12.50.

Last update, plate arrived 18:30 Spanish time, quick call to Mick at SAP to confirm how much to tighten bolt and now all set to fit it in the morning.?

 

[Peppadog]

A good engineering shop with a press will soon be able to press it back while avoiding deforming the centre. Making it a valued spare for future use. My new E&P levellers are being fitted next week. I will now look carefully at where I am lowering them. So thanks for telling us of your miss-hap.
