I think that will look better in giving it a little more heft. The only other thing I see is that the brake cylinders should be a few inches inward from the end of the frame. Not sure if there's anything you can do about that, but it would help lessen that open area on the frame. Is there any kind of an indent in the end of the cylinder to help center a wire can be added to better simulate the rest of the exposed brake rigging?
