Rear Dropout Help

[Chappy]

Hi guys

The rear dropout on my current bike that I am building seems to be a little bit tight on the drive side. From looking at it its 1mm closer than it should be. Does anyone no of anyway that i can open it out without breaking the frame or doing to much damage.

Many thanks.

What's the frame made from?

Got a magnet?

If it sticks to the frame, it's steel and you can risk trying to bend it.
If it doesnt stick, it's probably aluminium and I don't recommend messing with it.

ok its steel so you reckon that i might be able to bend it a bit

Problem soved thanks to a big wrench and my unusual dorset strength.
