Someone sent me a link to find older parts for the hilo and I seem to have lost it, I hope someone can help me. I am looking for a part that connects the bottom part of the awning to the trailer, its triangular in shape. I lost a tire and it hit and bent the back one so I need to find a replacement as I don't think I can re-bend it.
 
That thing is EXPENSIVE, isn't it? I think I'd try to straighten the bent one out. Use a vise and a hammer? Unlike the other fittings, I don't think this part is made of "pot metal". I think it should endure a bit of bending.

I recently bent my front mount and successfully straightened it, exactly as suggested. The mount is made from a good grade of aluminum and can stand the abuse. If the triangle gusset becomes detached (mine did not), any good welding shop can reattach it.
