Is this repairable ?

[grewth]

Today I have started sorting my carbs out.
I should have started this week's ago but I've had my hands full.
I've got some issues which might prove to be expensive to fix - ie buying more carb bodies.
I'm just wondering if it might just be possible to straighten out some of the damaged carb bodies.
I don't have much experience of working with Mazak but I've always been told it's absolutely impossible to weld by any method, because it just vapourises, before you can get a weld pool to form.
I'm wondering if heating up the carb bodies might make them plastic enough to tap straight.
Anyone got any experience ?

WOW With all due Respect, was anybody injured in the wreck?

Just damage from being chucked around at a breakers yard I reckon.
A pity because the most battered set of carbs are the 064A type that are correct for my F1.
The other two sets are 657A I think.
Dunno what model that is.
Can't find it in the Honda manual

I had one with slightly less damaged but managed to dress it back into shape with a small hammer, go gently a little at a time, might need a bit of filler in the crack at the bottom. Wouldn't be tempted to apply any heat it'll bend quite easily cold.
