I just finished installing a REEF's 422HDV2 for my SCX10 III build and like most of you, I had to cut away a portion of the right rear corner of the servo bracket in order to get the servo to sit flush against the right side.
However, I also had to cut away most of that little reinforcing fillet on the right front corner as well. The 422 is a pretty big servo with square corners and just wouldn't align correctly without removing significant material from both corners of the bracket.
Did anyone else have to remove additional material from the right front corner to get their steering servo installed? I was initially concerned about weakening the part with the extra cutting but after mounting the bracket assembly to the chassis, it seems to be pretty solid.
Here are some pictures of the modifications:
Here is the well documented modification to the right rear corner that a lot of people are having to do.
Here is the right front of the bracket for my installation. Although you can't see the little reinforcing fillet I had to sand out, you can see how tight the fit is without it.
