Removable center brace

[CRW Reefer]

So I am in the process of building a new sump for my 75. While I am certain the new sump will fit, I'm not certain I will be able to get it in through my doors. Has anyone come up with a good way to make the front center brace of their stand removable and then fasten in it back with out sacrificing cosmetics?

I just don't want to get my old sump out, only to find out I can't get the new one in with out a back up plan. Any thoughts, ideas and or pics how it can be done would be awesome!

you could put a hinge at the top of it and some sort of pin to keep it in place on the bottom so the brace can swing out when needed to

I know, I know not the cleanest sump in the world but hoping to change that along with the new sump :)

No one has faced this challenge before, really?

I am facing the same issue myself, would be interested to hear what solutions people may have.

yes I that is what I did on mine.
My stand has a fix center panel. I removed the center piece, used in two 2x4 support with a 2x4 beam sitting on top.
