Then I wrapped a piece of sandpaper around the fender like this to hollow the block to fit the fender.
Then I squashed the fender back into place like this.
The vise grips are very controlable and slow compared to a hammer. they are liable to leave tiny dimples because the jaws are kind of squarish. I might file them round or I might wrap them in lead or attach a wooden block.
