Hi ramblinBob..

How much bigger do you want to stretch that 7.5?

This four way is said to work well. I also like the hallett stretcher seen below

for a few dollars more this fella will make you one with a flange that extends about 4" up inside the crown, and they are made of Cedar so they discourage tiny livestock from taking up residence in your hat!
