    Are you talking about the indents for the factory bolts, or removing actual dents in the tubes? I've removed dents before using wooden dowels groun to fit the tube.

    I read something awhile ago about knocking a golf ball through them?

    Kind of like the way they make brass instruments, by pressing a series of steel balls through the brass tube inside a mold.
