Mounting plate for something at a guess. Are there any obvious bolt holes on the inner wings, bulkhead or suspension turrets that look like something is missing?

We can't see anything missing or anywhere it fits! It looks a quite substantial member....

Looks like it has a fair amount of oil on it so guessing it's under the engine somewhere.

That's what we thought... but not a single set of holes that align! We're a bit worried in case it's the single most important bit! :-\

Looks like a top mount intercooler bracket but I'm sure you would have noticed if that was missing unless of course you've gone front mount

I've got custom mounts. Its being returned to standard.
We thought it was an I/C mount but no holes align.

Yep, if it's the one I think it is it bolts to top of gearbox bell housing / block not sure which.
On the newage it's a little different and easier to take this off if fitting gauges to get to No.3 blanking hole.
But on classic I've never had to remove it.

Replace the heat shield with a blanket.

No need to fabricate missing brackets
