Anyone happen to have one or a pair of these ? They were supplied with the accessory Bennett Brake Kit.

They attached around the h.b. cross shaft then over to a hogshead bolt - I have a photo somewhere around here showing them installed ! They were a "stiffener" to prevent the cross shaft from flexing.

Thanks for the reminder. Forgot all about them, not very common. Think one of my friends has them on their car but has been a while since I looked under the floorboards. Theirs may be home made. ?
You might add a photo of it from the side.
