I've read about these too, they're called blast plates and they're designed to stiffen the gearbox casing as apparently one of the issues is a slight twisting/distortion under heavy load.

Not tried them though, power i'm running doesn't really warrant them. Gearbox needs to be dropped for fitting apparently.
