customer asked if I can flatten a depression,so he can fit an oil union coupling on the plate that fits around the bottom pulley covering the oil pump on a beetle,the ruler marks the spot,shaded white X.made a piece of heavy angle retained by 4 of the original screw holes to keep dimensional accuracy so it still fits after budging,then applied heat,placed a stake in the vice,as an anvil and hit it.
The subsequent photos show the previous depression flattened to give clearance.
