When I went to a 120 last summer I had rubbing too. I don't know if you can tell from my pictures, but had to extend the bracket up about an inch, with a 1" by 1/8" thick piece of flat steel strap, and drill new holes. It was a quicky modification before last years Kootenay Raid and still needs finishing. To me this mod was preferable to cutting the center out of the bracket. The front end felt more wobbly when I ran without the bracket.
