That's what saws are for...

And yes, users should be free to re-arrange the parts as they see fit,
as long as they don't try to sue Ford over it and as long as it meets
basic saftey regs.

Somebody later commented on this post stating that it was good
engineering to make things easy to take apart and rearrange.
That may be true but it may be cheaper to weld/use plastic tabs than
to use bolts and screws, it is also easier/lighter/cheaper to make a
consistantly vibration resistant weld than a vibration resistant 
bolt on piece.
