While this is a Monobloc there no reason the same technique couldn't be a applied to a Concentric.
I think I've done something similar with a vice.
John Healey has a write up about this along with a design for a jig (which I shamelessly copied), the key is to realign the slide bore with the flange. A bit of heat helps.

I've got a pack of zig-zags out in the shop somewhere...but that's not what I used to use them for.

I'm still working my way down the menu of now legal edibles
Started with the licorice, then onto gummies, now I've got a bar of "special" butter that I plan to bake some brownies with... fun times
Oh I over think and tweak till the witching hours. Then I rearrange my shop and cant find a damn thing thing the next day.Yeah, but I bet you don't care about carburetors after you're done with the zig zags.
The method is great if the flange warpage is as bad as shown but in my experience it usually is not and truing the mating surfaces on a sheet of 1/4" glass/wet-dry sandpaper does the job very well. It would take a serious amount of over-tightening to warp a flange to that extent UNLESS, of course, it came from Amal that way. But that would never happen, right?
It is the best use for shake and stems.I have NEVER made my own butter.
