like Brad said check for the sides bowing first. get something that is perfectly strait and about 1 to 2" shorter than the side and place if along the side. if it rocks more than a tiny bit then you need to put the brace back in. Mine only had bow of about 1/32" so I left it out and havent had a problem.

If mine popped off and all I got was a hair of movement, I'd be throwing the freakin' brace out the window. I would certainly not put it back. When my 48 popped, it bowed out 2.5 inches!!

Ah that wouldn't be so bad would it?
 Maybe do a school of tangs...
