Picked one up from a guy on Quattroworld in the states who machines them. Very pretty. I'll get a photo. Sits between master cylinder and the top strut brace effectively stopping any movement of the master cylinder under heavy braking.
Effective? No idea. Does it look pretty? Can't even see it. Can I talk about it in the pub, while bragging that it took 13 seconds off my Nurburgring lap time? No. Oh...
PS: I've also got one of those machined aluminium replacement oil cooler pipes in the cupboard in the event that that ever needs replacing...also looks pretty.
