what part is this and what is its function?

i'm trying to track down this part. I've seen it listed on ebay as a "toque Tube Support Brace" and other similar things but I'm not sure if that is a correct description because the geometry just doesn't suggest it actually interacts with the torque tube (at least to me anyways). Here is a picture:



Actually the best way to see it is at about 1:07 in this video... this guy calls it a brace and you can see him remove it, but he also has the same suspicion as me I think. He says in the video it may be more for the body than the torque tube:

When looking through the parts diagrams, I can't find this brace. I need to make a 3D model of it, but I was hoping to first figure out what it is called and hopefully what it is for. In my project, I don't have a torque tube so it if is really meant to hold the torque tube as some descriptions might suggest, then I wouldn't need it. But the shape of it just doesn't lead me to believe that is correct. I think it is more likely what this guy in the video says - a structural brace to keep the body from flexing/spreading.

Anyhow, if anyone knows what it is called and what the part number might be, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks!
