I think tacking a small box section on the back of the fork to lift it up so it's level is looking like the least hassle - top tip!

Thanks again.

If it needs box section it must quite along way out. Box might collapse, I was thinking of some thick plate.

I'd heat it up with oxy/acet using a big peperpot nozzle and bend it back. Simples!
