I get an error message from your link J-D, but phone lines have been screwed up in my area all day. Somewhere there is a backhoe operator that has had a very long and unpleasant day today.
Anyway, I did take note of the height difference. As best I could evaluate, my short-cut mounting on the existing L brackets resulted in a hood that is about 1/4" higher than the brackets that came with it.
HOWEVER, I also noted that the new brackets have a slight L-bend DOWNWARD, and it looked to me that this would put the head of the mounting bolts right against the rubber roof liner under said bracket. This was another piece of info that led me to use the existing L brackets.
