D-400 Starter On/Off and Primer Plunger warpage

During my latest restore of my late 60s 3054 I noticed that the starter on/off primer plunger was warped enough to cause interference with the flywheel during engine runs. It wasn’t that big of a deal, but I didn’t care for the extra noise or wear on the spring that goes around the plunger. Has anyone noticed this on their D-400s? If so, were you able to heat the plunger and straighten it? I bought an extra 4 or 5 of those NOS a few years ago so I just put a new one on and all is good. Just wondering if this original with the bend is worth trying to fix, or not? The one on the right is the bent one, it’s the original as far as I know and I suppose it’s just normal for 55 year old plastic to warp. You can see where I had painted the exposed portion of that one to match the other blue accessories that I had to paint. A pretty good color match though.
