Thanks for the advice thus far guys. Seller has kindly offered a refund and based on the fact with my DIY skillz,i cant even knock a nail into the wall straight,i dont think i'll try to rectify this.The pin looks at breaking point.If i bend it back i only see it weakening and when i come to use it on a frame and tighten,it's bound to break at some stage? Shame really.This is the second part i've bought in a week i really needed,only to find out it's damaged once i have it. (No silly smilies to end paragraph this time)
