Who can fix mag chain housings?

Chain tensioner shaft oval'd out the hole that it was pressed into in the back of the mag chain boxes. Is it too much trouble to keep these old boxes and try to find someone to fix the holes? or do most of you move to the later aluminum boxes?

I had a bad leak 3 years ago and I look and see the shaft sticking out of the back of the box. The car had solid tensioners when I got it. Now that I'm ready for a rebuild, wondering if the og mag chain boxes are worth saving.

Thanks buddy, sent you a DM.

If anyone has a good left side lemme know, that one had the shaft starting to push out too. Solid tensioners are for race cars, dang the tech to heck whoever put the solid tensioners in my street car in the past!
