Yeah could have been.I noticed it when I first pulled it apart.I scratched my head and thought maybe it should have been like that,but after putting it back together and noticed that it didn't work correctly.So that was the point I realized it wasn't right.Have fixed it up.Fairly good you would hardly know it was bent.I just haven't put it back on twin (Goliath).Ended up catching a [Censored] cold.Not happy about that.Sat me on my bum all day today.[Censored] colds.
