bracing overtop of the engine

Hello
I am in a situation that does not allow for any room for the tube "R" (From the upper suspension mount to the rear of the engine compartment).
A few years ago on this site I saw someone made a bolt in ring that went around the valve cover and acted like a strut tower. I have been searching but cant find it.

If anyone can point me towards it I would be greatfull.
Thanks
Dale

I think you're referring to the bloke who put a V6 into a locost - James as i recall. But this was probably 10 years ago.
