Default B6.1 brass bulkhead bending

Hi all. I was racing my b6.1 last night at my local club and had an issue with my brass bulkhead. I noticed it had bent. I did have an impact with a laydown cougar but it wasn't particularly a hard hit and I certainly wouldn't of thought it would of been enough to bend the bulkhead. Anyone else bent one ??.

They do bend, so worth a check regularly, but they can be straightened fairly well with a decent mallet...

Brass is a relatively soft material, a decent impact will bend them.

I know it's soft. I just didn't expect it to bend so easily. Put the plastic one back on temporarily while I get the brass one pressed straight again. I won't bother buying a new one as I heard there maybe a new car soon.
