As in title, I dropped the falco manoeuvring it around some twats badly parked Audi and bent the brake pedal, it's still functional but twisted so it no longer hits the brake light switch. It won't straighten even with heat so needs to be replaced.

I do hope you unintentionally gouged the Audi's paintwork while extricating yourself...

I don't have a spare one, but the brake light switch is known to fail anyway, so you might want to consider rigging up one of those universal ones and selling yours on, just another option.

I've got a hydraulic one from griff as well. As you've discovered the standard set up has to be cock on or the switch won't work. Mine came pre dropped but I tried bending, shimming and general bodging without any luck.
