Why? Rust, reinforcement, structural integrity, aesthetics, efficacy. The amount of corner you would have to remove to operate the slide collar on the quick disconnect would be really large for the size of the chuck. If you don't do something to put the edge back, it will crack the flat sheet metal from vibration. And without putting the edge back it is going to look like shit. You have to protect the metal from rusting or it won't take long to spread.yeah, I'm also still waiting for someone to say WHY its bad, instead of just saying its bad
What you and our south of the border vegemite sucking mate overlooked in the false comparisons is each of those has a solution that covers, hides, protects, and or reinforces the cut sheet metal. To equate them as being the same as hacking off the corner of the hood is just ignorant for the sake of being ignorant.
