non-aligning splits

Saved another instrument from the dumpster (an Evette Master).

Now, as you can see in the attachment, the bell has split twice (presumably from being dropped) and the instrument has spent the past 20-odd years in an attic.

Question to all you gluers, banders, pinners out there - how do you deal with splits that don't align when being closed? looks like one half of the bell developped a different diameter than the other one. Simply banding would not necessarily compress the bigger half significantly so that the two parts of the split are flush.

(I do have a replacement bell, I'm just curious how to deal with split *and* distorted parts)
