Oem radiator support alternative

[l33th3tr33]

I will be needing to replace my radiator support due to corrosion in the near future, I know trying to get hold of a genuine one is a ballache but I saw the Wheeler Motorsport one which doesn't have the rear legs and also states that it's not for road use. My question is why can't it be used for the road? Am I having a daft moment here?
Failing that, does anyone have any experience with the BTT one? Seems to be worthwhile as it comes coated already.

He’ll just be covering himself in the event of something happening.
I wouldn’t worry about it personally. I cut the legs off my OEM one

The OEM braces do fit, but the radiator tab needs moving to a different place. Pretty easy if you have a welder

I’ve got the Wheeler one and I’ve driven mine on the road, and as far as I can tell I haven’t died yet

In that case I might just cut the legs off mine, that's what's rusted through. Thanks!

Definitely the cheapest option

I also have the wheeler motorsport one and I’m also still alive, and it’s aluminium so won’t rust
