cut the tip, rebend the loop???.....how about placing the sides of the bail in a vise and tap on the center with a SMALL hammer.....

I tried that method too, and messed it up somehow.
Well, I didnt use a vise, but tried to steady it on the garage floor, and maybe that was my problem.

Thanks for the tip on this too. I have one more vette to try this on.

Vise method works. I had to do that on a Dodge master.
