I'm not sure if this is an original part or if it was added aftermarket. Anyways, I want to get another just like it and can't find it anywhere. It is 1&3/8" between centers and it looks like it's made of Aluminum. What is this called and where can I get it. Thanks, Tim http://i904.photobucket.com/albums/ac...df1b08.jpg
