Opinions wanted - Radiator Hold down

So in another thread I posted I was having issues with mounting my champion radiator. Didnt get alot of responses of what other people have done so I made a new bracket and curious as to how you guys think it looks. I am undecided if I like it or not so I figured Id see what you guys thought.

Pic 1 notice if I have the bracket all the way down on the crossmember then it cocks the saddles


Pic 2 if I have the saddles flat then the hold down is over a half inch from the radiator support


pic 3 drilled out the spot welds


Pic 4,5,and 6 Bent up some diamond plate




Pic 7 put the saddles in the new bracket


Pic 8 and 9 viola



So does it look alright, or no, again I am still undecided.

I'm diggin' it- but then again I like the industrial look, too.

I bet it won't go anywhere.

If you don't like it later, you can use it as a template and change it.
