Lucky find
You might be able to gently tap the dent out of the top plate. Use blocks of wood to soften the hammer blows and provide a former (after removing it from the camera, obviously!)

I'd certainly have paid a fiver if I'd seen it though, so congrats to you both.

There is, coincidentally, a "mint" top plate for an MX on ebay (seller in UK) unfortunately it is a black one (ebay id 250849732589)

I know, I have been eyeing that one although the top plate on my black MX is in fairly good nick.
Thanks anyway, Kris.

Hertfordshire,
mostly.
Does anyone have a spare MX top-plate they want to sell?
Best wishes, Kris.
