[TR] Valve Cover Question

Ok,

The good news is that I found the early TR4 valve cover without the brass
center plug.  The bad news is way back in time someone bent the oil filler
tube about 45 degrees to the front.  The cover it self is in very good,
straight condition.  This looks like it should be able to be fixed.  Rather
than me hitting it with  a hammer from inside, anyone have a recommendation
on what kind of shop could fix this or who?  These darn things are hard to
find and it deserves to be brought back to life.  Also, thanks for the
earlier post on the paintable chrome process from Jay Leno's Garage.  I
found a shop in town that uses the same process and am going to try it out!

Thanks in advance,
