what I'm trying to say, is I've already taken the bed sander to them. So I'm fucked?

The reason that milling a vband isn't good is because the clamp is designed to work with a certain thickness on both vband flanges. If you mill it down, it doesn't have as much material to squeeze on to and hold a tight seal.
well thats not an issue cause the bands wouldn't even fit over the rings as they are now. They are too thick.

I say put that ---- on a sander and flatten it out. Then gun the clamp down. If its not THAT warped it might work. Worst case scenario just cut off the flange and weld a new one on.
