Does anyone have any suggestions on dealing with this?
This is a 6" diameter fiberglass tube for a WM Darkstar Ultimate. You can see in this photo, the tube flattened out where the slots were cut, so on that end of the tube, it is not round anymore and the CRs don't fit. You can really see the flattening in the lower right of the picture.
For reference, You can see on the other end of the tube, it is still round:
I have run into this issue before, but never this extreme. I tried using a large hose clamp to force it back into round, but that didn't do anything.
I supposed I can grind 3 flat edges on the CRs if it comes to that.
If anyone has any good suggestions, I am willing to give it a try!
