[T3] "Beauty Ring"

[Dave Hall]

Trouble is that the anodising is probably cracked and that will be a site
for corrosion later, even if the dent is straightened out.   

I don't have beauty rings, but I always remove the hub-caps, even the modern
plastic sort, and put them somewhere safe - the tyre guys just pop them off
onto the concrete without a care if you leave them to it.

Thanks for checking, Keith.
That damage is only on one beauty ring.  And only about an 1-1/2"
portion that's mangled.  But it bugs me.
Would you think a good body man, with a delicate touch, be able to get it
back to 98% ?

BTW.
Did you ever get that 40hp Mercury outboard converted from a manual start to
an electric?
