A blacksmith could imprint the shape by using a hardy and beating it into the surface. To heat the metal to the point it is soft enough to work that way will require blacksmithing temperatures.

If it's only 10mm then use a Dremel cutting disk if you have one to cut a section out of the bar. Then you can shape it from there. It might help having all of the extra metal out of the way.

Crna, I think that a bench grinder, a file, and patience will get you where you need to be.

Or send it to me and I'll do it for like $2...
yeah but the shiping would be lots because the bar need to be 1.2m long lolz
anyway i got it, i used one of these
bits in the die grinder and made it pritty good, not perfect but it will do.

If it were me, I would use a flat plate on bottom and then 3 square plates on top and fit them together to form the V shape. Drill and tap to secure the top plates in place with bolts (or flat head screws for a flat finish on top).
EDIT: You could fill in any cracks with a good epoxy and sand smooth.

cant really picture your way, but it needs to be round to fit into the pipe it came out of
