I have a pair of early 2.0 SSI HEs... Two large port to two large port.

I bought a bunch of heater parts from SLITS a while ago (awesome deal!) and at Joe Buckle's BBQ a month ago I tried getting the "elbow" pieces that go between the HEs and heater flappers into the HEs... No luck. Looks like the HE's ports for the elbows are a bit mishapen.

My question is... how can I reshape them to get the elbows to work? I have mostly hand tools at my disposal. No super-large vice-grips or anything. Minor metalworking tools. Cutting and re-welding isn't an option...

Any advice is apprecieated. TIA!

dude you got a louisville slugger right, take the bottom end of the bat and work it through and use the bat to push the offending sides out.

this is assuming of course that the diameter of the bat end (hand grip) is smaller than the inside diameter of the J pipes....

J pipes' outside diameter is a little smaller than a coke can....bc that's what was used to block off those ports.
