    I had to get a new core support, and was actually able to find one. It's exactly the same, but not.

    Looking at the old one, where it mounts to the frame, there's an actual mount shaped like \_/

    The new one does not have that. Not cut off, just like it was never there. Can you guys show me some pics of how your core support bots to the frame, so I can see what I need to do?

    Happy to take a pic for you. Just not sure what you are referring to exactly.

    Here's what I could get. The first is the old one, and you can see the mounting hole. The new one doesn't have it, at all.

    I wish that were true. There's not even a place it used to be, no marks, no blotches in the paint.

    That's it! Why in the world would that not be there? Its taken me so damn long to cut them off my old one without damaging them. If they weren't there, how did they mount it?
