Default WTB: Crossmember Dent Tool or Borrow?

Does anyone have a Front Crossmember Dent Removal Tool either for sale or to loan/rent?

I only need it once, it seems a shame to buy one.....

Unless you're a purist, I don't understand the idea of pulling that dent out. I use the cross member all the time for a jack location. I place a 10' X 10" thick board between the jack and cross member. Previous owner did too because it's dented. I'm thinking of rolling a 1/4" steel plate to the width and the radius of the cross member. The cross member already has 4 holes perfectly located for attaching.
Anyone interested? I might make a handfull.
