That's correct but if you take a look at the car with the curved version you will see that the builder has take that into account by using .500 SS material rather rhen the OEM dimensioned .310 (5/16) which mine has as shown here.

Here's how I did mine, I fabbed "flame shaped" aluminum brackets to support my radiator, I don't care for the rods.
