Technical letter 1832 refers to a motor to frame brace.
Apparently this was offered as a way of controlling front end shimmy and excessive radiator movement.
I have noticed that shimmy certainly increases if tyre pressures are too low. Has anyone seen one of these braces fitted. I wonder whether the brace would put too much strain on the aluminium timing chain inspection hole area.
