Front Lower Cross Brace - What's the Part Number

Can someone help me with the part number for this front lateral brace? It's the bolt in brace just in front of the crank pulley. It looks like the battery leaked at some point in the past and some yahoo spliced in a 2x4 to repair it. YGBSM.

That joker was WAY harder to find in the parts diagram than I would have guessed!

FD01-56-290A

Looks like $60ish dollars.

You can also get them used, shouldn't be too hard or costly to get used. Many of them have surface rust from the battery, some cleanup work, rust neutralizer, and a good coat of paint can do wonders.

I made my own out of an L-shaped piece of aluminum from McMaster-Carr. I had to modify it a lot to fit my front mount so I just made a new one and had it powdercoated.

THANK YOU DALE!!! I spent a solid hour scouring the FSM and online parts diagrams trying to find the stupid thing! Normally I would just put Ray on the case, but in this case I'm going to my local dealer to get it ASAP. This stupid thing and a throttle body gasket are the only thing keeping me from driving my FD for the first time in almost six months.
