Default OEM Tank Emblems

Anyone have a good, reliable, trustworthy source for taking out dings/dents in tank emblems. Have set of OEM Fox-stamped tank emblem for my 49 that need some work. Distance is not a problem; the other stuff above is very important.

I had a few dents in the original 65 emblems, Using a pair of tape wrapped pliers worked well on the outer edges and different sized wood dowels was used to punch it from behind. I rounded or sharpened the ends depending on the angle or depth. Worked ok and you can not tell it was ever dented. Good luck.
