difficult to put right. Easiest option is to find a slightly narrower post( they do vary in diameter from make to make) and live with it. Without cutting it out and fitting a new mast all I can think of is a well greased post knocked down which may straighten it a bit.... Or get stuck :/

The problem is compounded by the fact that I've had the layback powdered too..Might try running some sandpaper down the tube to see if it makes it any better and then try the grease and rubber mallet technique, fingers crossed!!
I have a couple of these https://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/19mm-To-62mm-Car-Engine-Flexible-Shaft-Brake-Cylinder-Hone-Bore-Honing-Tool-2756-/263481728748?nav=SEARCHThe stones are too fine a grit to do anything but polish tubing but I fook them off and glue small strips of emery cloth to the 3 feet.Work great on seat masts, quick, easy and reach further than you would ever put a post
Wait till you see my snapped off renthal in an early unstamped GT performer frame
That snake post fitted fine, didn't notice a bend in there either Neil Sent from my HTC One M9 using Tapatalk

the good news first....the sea post tube is now sorted!! ....and now the bad news....still working to getting material removed from inside the fork steerer tube thingy and it's a right pain in the arse. Have been using a pillar drill fitted with a bar wrapped in 80 grade emery cloth in my lunchbreaks at work...taking forever but still hopefull to get this sorted and built for MK!
