I was able to do it. ThanksTry 2k grit sandpaper. Put paper on smooth level surface and lightly work the HP seat on it. I typically stroke in one careful, level, direction. Check progress after each pass.
I have brought back many seats this way.

I made an exact replica of one of those plates once.Someone here needs to take that. That is an aluminum contour backplate.
I would recommend to cut slots between the screw holes and use a modern flexible tank band.
This contour backplate can be easily used in a vintage or a modern configuration. You can easily add a wing if you want to use in a modern configuration.
The modern Freedom plates, that are so highly desirable, are basically pattern after this plate. At least it is similar.
Please don't throw it away... someone needs to claim it.
