Question:

I got the C16418-204 Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit for Chevy/GMC - Carbide Finish. Do you sell the brackets individually? I was finally going to install it but Unfortunately my driver side bracket fell out of truck And got bent pretty bad. I am afraid that to try to straighten it would not be safe. Please help. Thank you
