I've tried to buy this tape from Eastwood for the last several months. They
have yet to update their web site or catalog. They claim it isn't available
anymore yet continue to list it(?!) If anyone can find it I'd like to buy a
copy of it. I have three spare rear tubs for S1 80s and would like to get
them into shape and back in to circulation so someone can further their
restoration along. Learning how to beat the alloy panels back into shape
would come in handy on general principal anyway. Let's face it ... "Land
Rovers" and "minor assembly required" go hand in hand.

I did get this video and it is helpful WRT annealing / forming alloy panels.
Ron Covell shows you how to transform a piece of flat sheet stock into a nose
cone for a quarter midget racer. Some info is applicable to collision (tree
/ rock) repair, but the first tape would be better for practical applications
and short cuts. Working from flat stock is a little different from repairing
a formed, manufactured assembly.
