Could you straighten tweaked fork dropouts using the threaded rod/ nuts/ washer method? I took a beautiful steel fork to a shop to have the steer threaed a little more, and they must have clamped it by the drops. It is tweaked about 1 mm. It is very discouraging that you actually have to pay people to screw things up today and good shops are few and far between.
