We have a Flink trussed rafters 8 in all. There is a diagonol bracing
going from Bottom Left to Top right across the trusses.

Along the inside of the trusses, parallel to the roof?

Like here http://www.tra.org.uk/pdf_files/pds4.pdf

Please check Fig 1 Chevron Brace Pinkish in the picture. My brace is
right in the way.

Of?

I can't see anything pink apart from the timber that is running along
the wall.

As we dont have the diagonol braces (Green), Only the Chevron type.
Would it be okay to remove part of the Chevron brace and it all still
stay up.

Probably.
Remove one, or remove them all?
The point of the chevron braces is to stop the roof top moving in the
line of the ridge.
Without it, under large amounts of wind loading, the roof can in
principle collapse sideways.

Adding diagonal bracing does the same thing as the chevron bracing does.

If you add sufficient diagonal bracing, then you can remove the chevron
bracing.

We'd need some information on roof size and cladding, but I'd expect a
timber about the same size as the chevron brace from one corner of each
side of the roof to the other would do just fine.
