Convertible brace part number?

Today was the first day I saw the two braces under the hood for the convertible. The ones that connect to the strut mounts. Does anyone have a part number for these peices? I've looked on RealOEM.com but can't seem to find it.

Any thoughts to whether or not there would be a benefit on a non-convertible?

I have a feeling these were put in to make up for something lost in the conv. that the coupe has.....

but from what I hear they are cheap and worth a try...sorry no part number but I am sure Driveclassicmini.com can help you with that....

Post results when you are done!

Best of luck!

This topic lists the part #'s including #'s for the bolts: https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...d.php?t=100375

From what I read, it looks like a straight forward install for the 2005 and 2006 models b/c all the holes are pre-drilled.
