Hi is there any way to reshape a bent or squashed jt faceplate back to roughly its original shape?
Thanks

I think the universally accepted practice is to heat gently with a hair drier then hang upside down off a round door handle or something equally round and shaped.
Have you a pic of it? How bad is it?
You could pick a new one up off the classifieds section for not a lot of money

Ah ok I will give that a go. I'm working away so I don't have access to them for quite a while. I will try and get some when I'm home. They are purple ize ones. Which are a bit harder to come by. That's why I was looking for a repair solution.

Ah, in that case you might consider buying a new proshield hard faceplate and then using it as a mould for the bent one. Heat gently, press the Ize plate onto the proshield one, secure with cable ties and leave for a few days. Might be worth giving them a wee heat everynow and then while they're sitting too.
Ah I see so best it first until it becomes soft using water or a hairdryer would you say? Then cable tie it to the hard proshield one. Thanks I will give that a go
