I can't see the photo but if its about 9ins long with a bend at one end made off flat bar is sounds like Thatcher is right

Thanks for the reply, you was right but it goes on the other side (exhaust side of the engine) scootz found me a picture showing where it goes.




Look at the bottom of the engine just at the point between the gearbox and the engine there is a metal brace about 15cm long

^ thought I would point it out to see if anybody else finds the part and doesn't know where it goes

Thanks for the reply's guys and thanks to scootz as well!

Excess weight. Surplus to requirements. File it in the Bin, unless you are building a concours vehicle.

oooh just reminded me I need to refit mine!

EDIT: Jollygreengiant, serious? If so I shall leave mine off.

Further digging and iv found a few people who don't use them, going to assume it's an over engineered part and will file in the bin I think
