Can i just ask though, on the top of each arch (on the original arch) there is a bit of metal that sticks up and attaches to the side of the tray. Do they do anything/provide any kind of support. As you have just cut yours out, and i haven't dared in case they're structural?
I reattached mine but I doubt they are required for strength. Handy for tucking a bog roll behind so it doesent get all muddy at a weekender.

Thanks Tim
Those have been removed by drilling out the spot welds and will be cut down and re-attached. don't think i bothered on the swb but with the extra length of the bed and the fact i'll be running a hardtop I decided to keep them on this one.

Scott! I've got a spare 410 grill, seem to remember it having one of the vertical slots missing though. Will send over some photos tonight, see what you think
Builds looking good too buddy!

That would be awesome, main thing is that it's straight
I have another one I can cut a slot out of to repair it
Cheers

Any good to you buddy? Whoever is responsible for chopping that slot out should be shot!
