Yeah I'm not too concerned about fender support. It still has a lot even with the brace removed. I will probably see if a shop close by with a tubing bender can just bend each side in slightly (.25"). The front sheet metal was in place making it tougher to measure so I ended up being off. Sometimes having another set of hands in the garage is a must.
