General Engine bracket

Hi Guys,
This came of my 126 I stripped down for parts many yrs ago. What do's it actually do. TIA

It is a torsion plate that helps to stabilise the engine and gearbox assembly. The two holes at the wider end would have bolted to the gearbox mount cradle whilst the single hole bolted up through the back of the tunnel. Some people fit them to 500s when they increase the engine size or tuning.
