The book has dimensioned drawings of some of the parts (like the control arm reinforcements), but not the Y-brace.  The Y-brace bears the part number 175 809 145.  There is also a front strut mount reinforcement that goes inside the strut towers, number 171 411 105H.

I bought the car brand-spanking new in 1975 and the brace was there.
Strange.  I'm curious if anybody else has it.   Hope to hear from some
other 1975 model owners.
