Give me an idea

[anteva2]

A few minutes ago my max fell while I was checking the front wheel pressure, it was on a slight slope. There has been no serious damage, except for the left front indicator, the white paste has broken, I have no problem locating another one, but this, this I have no idea how to get it back to its place. The rear chrome is intact, it would just have to return to its circular shape without damaging the back. Can you give me an idea how to do it? Thanks guys.

Die-cast potmetal pieces, like your signal. are notoriously difficult to work with, if you're trying to bend it back into shape. Using too-much heat will turn the piece into slag where it's being heated. Attempting a 'cold-set,' where you use something to attempt to bend the piece into shape, usually ends with the piece cracking.

I'd just install a complete new signal and throw the part into a spares box/bin, if you need to use the bulb base socket as a replacement because of corrosion or something.
