Gearbox to bellhousing brace

Hi

I'm looking for the brace/bracket that attaches to the side of the gearbox and bolts up to the bellhousing on a mk2 escort and possibly others. Looks like a piece of flat bar about 15-20mm wide, hole in each end with a bend.
Unsure if it makes a difference but I'm running a xflow and 4 speed box

Cheers Nick

    You mean the support that goes between the engine block and the bellhousing on the drivers side?

    Make it go FASTER!

    Thanks for the reply. That's the one I think, part of the problem is that I don't have one and I'm not 100% sure what it is/where it goes.

    Im trying to eliminate some possible causes of driveline vibration.

    Do you have one?

    I think it braces the bellhousing against the engine block which cuts down on movement and driveline vibration.
