Hello Dante. Reese does not offer a replacement part to fix the missing metal fin you mentioned. The only way to replace it would be to get a new head unit, and unfortunately the head unit from the Reese Pro Round Bar Weight Distribution # RE44FR is no longer available. It may be worth contacting Reese to see if they can offer a fix, otherwise the only solution I can offer will be to replace the entire weight distribution hitch with a new one.
