Body Brace Convertible

Body Brace Convertible
I am looking for help in identifying a part. It is a body brace. It seems that there is on the drivers side but missing on the passenger side. I think the part is HJD4250AB.
It seems that when I bought the car it was missing. I can see where the hydraulic lines were replaced and they did not put all the screws back in the header among other things. I include a picture of the one that is there and the space where I think the other should be.

No brace on the passenger side. Looking down into the well next to the rear window
another view without the brace.
This is the brace that is present on the Drivers side. See the white electrical connection attached to it.
Another view of the brace on the drivers side looking down. The front of the car is to the left. The rear is to the right.

The bracket needs to be removed to get the speaker box out. It is just too much trouble for some mechanics to be bothered by installing parts that nobody will notice. It saves time and 'time-is-money'. I have worked with MANY in my career.

Jules,
Thanks for the offer to look for the part. I found one on ebay at a junk yard in Calf. It was very inexpensive ($10 + shipping) compared to the $1200 that a dealer or other sources wanted for new. My hope is that this solves some of my body shake and I get to take apart the whole back seat.
I do love working on this car. It is almost like working on my boat - only a little easier. LOL.
