Is There Any Way To Repair Intercooler Fins?

[CharlieHustle]

Hey Guys I have a Greddy 24v Front mount intercooler and I dented one of the fins on it I was wondering is there any way to repair it. Or is that one of the hazards of having a front mount.

Called variously a fin rake or radiator comb. Big hardware stores, refrigeration shops, or the internaweb.

I used to have a GRedy big FMIC also. I found tweezers to be the best tool for straightening bent fins.

Defiant - That sure looks like a handy tool. Unfortunately, the GReddy FMIC's (along with most others), dont have long rows of straight fins like in you pic. Rather, they are short, zig-zag rows. The ideal tool combination is a pair of tweezers and alot of patience.
