On it during the week. Local pub in Margate, The London Tavern, has Goacher's ale on tap at present. My priority over weekend is to take avantage of any easy drinking sublime local bitter
And a bit of gardening

A couple of half moon shaped pieces of metal to suit the shape of the indent and squeeze the whole lot in a big vice does the trick

Took a hammer and punch to it. The tubing is quite thick. So l reshaped the centre punch nib, giving a broader angle before striking.
It worked on one end but not other. I suspect tubing was just flexing elsewhere. Striking in grooved area achieved very little. So l went closer to end.
And in hindsight it will likely wear away plastic and return to wobble status.
Thanks for ideas though
