Thanks for the reply, you was right but it goes on the other side (exhaust side of the engine) scootz found me a picture showing where it goes.
Look at the bottom of the engine just at the point between the gearbox and the engine there is a metal brace about 15cm long
^ thought I would point it out to see if anybody else finds the part and doesn't know where it goes 
Thanks for the reply's guys and thanks to scootz as well!

Excess weight. Surplus to requirements. File it in the Bin, unless you are building a concours vehicle. 
Beware of the Goldfish in the tulip mines. The ONLY defence against them is smoking peanut butter sandwiches.

Further digging and iv found a few people who don't use them, going to assume it's an over engineered part and will file in the bin I
think
