    i think that would be fine

    are you trying to put the sump in from the back? if so maybe you could just simply take that brace out, put in the sump, then put the brace back in.

    Why do all that work when he can just drop it in from the top? Honestly, I would not remove that center brace as it is there for support.My stand that I built looks similiar to yours. I think by removing the brace would lower the integrity of the frame.

    Just out of curiousness, why don't you make it so you can put the sump in from the side? This would take care of the issue of removing the center brace.

    I wouldnt remove it, you might be able to get away with moving it off center a little bit but I would try any other option before I would move that.

    I would go with Josh's recommendation of the side door.
