Bracket is buggered imho
Let's face it, you wouldn't go to a nurse to get good advice on a problem with a Falco - you'd choose an Engineer or a mechanic...

That's a bit leanie! One option may be to take the bracket to a fabricators and ask them to straighten it by about 3 or four degrees. They'll just cut a fillet out of the back side of the bend, straighten it a bit and weld it up again. I had the reverse done a few years ago (to give more lean) and it's still together and in one piece.
