I received a new frame with an odd design (please see picture below). It's internal routed and has a wide cable outlet at the bottom of the downtube. As such, the motor cover won't close due to the nut on it interfering with the downtube opening (at the red arrow). I'm considering grinding down this nut to free up some space.
Typically, there is an iron bracket (shown at the blue arrow) securing the motor cover via its two nuts onto the bottom bracket. With one of the two nuts removed, it probably won't make sense to put the iron bracket back. I really don't want to remove any material from the frame anyway.
So here comes my question, is it okay to run without this iron bracket? In my opinion, the TSDZ2 is secured mainly by the fixing block tying to the chainstays, so the iron bracket is not that important, right?
