No parts will be damaged, and everything on there will be original, it would just be without a few pieces of brass. There's no inherent reason why doing this would be unsafe, and we're not doing anything that anyone with a phillips head screwdriver couldn't do.
Steve,

If I were your Robot Inspector, and I may be, I would render the modified Maxi block illegal. You may appeal my decision to the Lead Inspector, to FIRST, to the Supreme Court, but why take a chance. Make your weight savings in some other area.
