[ST] Metallurgy

["Masiak, Richard" <Richard_Masiak@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm no metallurgist. But, won't heating and bending it (or any piece of metal for that matter) affect/change the internal crystal/grain structure of the metal probably making it weaker than it was originally?  Especially a soft metal like the brake lever?

Fred,
  When you say warm it with a "gaz" torch  do you mean  a  propane torch or 
something different. I have a oxy/acetylene set  available.
