Seat mounting rails bent out of shape Recently I crashed my bike, and since then, the seat has been tilted towards the left side.
I know very little about bikes and the associated terminology, but I think what happened is that the rails that are used to mount the seat have been bent out of shape in the accident; see the images attached below.
What I'd like to know is:

What's the proper terminology here (e.g. regarding the &quot;rails&quot;)?
Can I, or a repair shop, bend the rails back into shape without seriously compromising safety?
It looks to me like the seat itself is secured to a mounting plate (which is connected to the rails) with something akin to Allen screws. Are these mounting plates standard parts that I can replace, to salvage the seat? If so, what are they called?

Thanks!
(Saddle) rails is the correct term. They are part of the saddle/seat. I’m not aware of any saddle where they are replaceable.
You might be able to bend the rails back but it could compromise stability. Considering a new saddle only costs a couple of euros I’d just replace it.
For a crash to bend the rails like that it takes quite some force. I recommend a very careful inspection of the frame, seat post and all other parts of the bicycle.
