<VV> Weight canisters

[J R Read_HML]

I understand that possibility and I've been this route before.  My eyeball 
tells me that things SHOULD be OK as far as alignment is concerned.  It 
appears to have been a pretty minor hit, judging from the repair.  Won't 
know till I try to re-install cocktail shakers.  It was kind of awkward 
(actually funny to me) when the seller's mouth dropped open when I said 
"When was the hit in the rear?".  I don't think he expected me to discover 
the repair - and most folks wouldn't have.
