Well I'll be damned... The guys at my old work always just welded super short sections and let it cool a lot to avoid warpage when it was important that something remain straight, but from what I was reading there it seems there is a good chance it might be crooked already... Thanks for the heads up - I'll have to do some looking/measuring... I'm only a few hours from Moser so maybe it'd make sense for me to run the housing up there so they can put the perches on in a fixture I'm sure they probably have...
