Radiator support fit

[andreas_kc]

Have a new radiator I ordered from Brothers Trucks but it is not fitting well. Seems the X brace is preventing the radiator flange from being flush with the support.

Now I've seen plenty of pictures w this X brace around... but plenty of pictures with it missing. The original radiator obviously fit. There any downside to cutting out the X part of the support? There a pattern/reason why some supports have this? Or has everyone else cut them out too?

I have a build thread going here also.....
