I have a new radiator support sitting in the dining room floor Mike...it isnt that flimsy. That also doesnt address the reason for the extra braces out back. The more I think on it the more I believe those braces were for the crossmember...it's the only explanation that makes any sense. The tubes are too light/thin to deal with any flex...their only strength would be in tension and compression.
