I am reading a thread after searching the archives from 1998 that is talking 
about the straightening, leveling of elements. Some
good information here and is being absorbed, thanks to all.

I originally was searching for a different answer:

I have a TH6DXX and have just assembled it and it is laying on three fiberglass 
chairs out in the back yard. It is not new, but
used. I have noticed after preliminary construction of all parts that the end 
most reflector mounting bracket is bent such that the
reflector ends bend in towards the front of the beam. It is as though someone 
after assembling it placed it on its end and rocked it
back and forth or something.

Do I need to buy a new bracket (diminished F/B?), it is not apparent that any 
mechanical soundness has been lost in the structure of
the bracket, in other words is looks as strong as the others, it is just bent 
forward whereby the ends of the reflector comes angled
forward about 4 inches at each end somehow.

Just worried about the specs taking a hit as a result.
