Looks likes its supposed to stiffen up the shell but you would be better making a half cage in my eyes.

So is it similar to a rear strut brace?

They have been up in price since about a week after they appeared on eBay. I'd been watching it for weeks. Make an offer, I did and go it for less.

It's alloy and not very thick at that, the red one looked coated in something but for £200 I bet its not alloy
