Anyone have a source for a camshaft tone wheel on a 2003 Liberty 2.4L?

I have been dealing with cam sensor issues for a while now, and finally broke down and took the timing belt and stuff off to remove the tone wheel. The "small" dings were worse than I thought they were. I have punded out the dings, and will refine it a bit more, but would rather find a good tone wheel if I can to avoid having to take everything back apart a second time if my repair job isn't good enough. I have contacted Collins Brothers Jeep twice, and got no response. SandHill Auto says they have have some 2.4L engines from liberties, but again, no answer when I reached out to them. I found some old forum posts via google search where people had some available, and I replied hoping maybe they still had them, but no luck. So, anyone know of a place to get a tonewheel for a 2003 2.4L Liberty?

Or, if not, could anyone tell me if they think my metal work may suffice? The picture with the paper is after some hammering. The other two are before.

Not all that common an engine in Jeeps, but I believe it was used in other cars so it might be worth investigating.

Everything I have read, and videos I have seen showing the engine used in other cars, suggests that although they use the same engine, they have different tone wheels for timing. The Liberts and Wranglers between 2002 and 2004 seem to be the only ones that use this specific tone wheel.

This is the one from the Liberty and Wranglers.

That's frustrating.
If yours is too damaged to use, a machine shop would be able to repair it / copy it.

I was able to pound it back flat. I was just hoping to find one in case my repair, or one someone made didn't quite work and I have to pull everything back apart again. I am not in a huge rush to get it back together, so I may make an arbor for it that I can mount on my lathe, and then use an indicator to check how far out it is at various points.
