I bought a set of cans that took a lightning hit years ago on my 2 meter repeater. They are older Phelps Dodge cans. The finger stock was OK, but the tuning rod had arched. I retuned the low pass cans to high pass and vice versa. They have worked fine ever since, but I do run them at low power, 50 watts. You might try the same thing.
