That was my first guess. Is there one on the other side?
Track days ARE the best thing since sliced bread, until I get a supercharger that is!
Please read my ring story:

If thats an English axle (Mk2 Escort) then , no , there wont as the flexi goes to rigid pipe , then to the wheel cylinder on one side - then rigid
pipe across the axle to the other wheel .
Its cuz I is blond , innit

eh!
If it's not brake flexi pipe mount it could be for a metal rod balance/compensator arrangement that connects the 2 handbrake operating levers to
one cable.

It is for the brake pipe flexi from the transmission tunnel and connects to a rigid pipe that goes to the offside wheel cylinder which is then
connected to the nearside wheel cylinder via another rigid pipe. At least that's what it says in my Haynes manual for a MK1 Escort. Axle is
pictured upside down.

The handbrake is on the back, it's the flex pipe union bracket as above. Cut it off and weld an M6 bolt on top of the diff housing and use a T
piece with a pipe to each wheel.

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.
