You could try very carefully to bend it back in place with some pliers. What your is this what on earth did you do to bend it that bad.

This is a Grasshopper GTX 2.0 right? Duncan has excellent customer service. You should see if they can help you out. I would get in touch with them. Even if they are able to help you buy a replacement.

Let me see if I can initiate contact. Hey @bjardin, have you ever seen this happen before? Not saying its a defect, but DAMN!

Best of luck!
