I think it's factory. Here's some pre-resto shots of our BN2/100M
before we took it to bare metal. You can just make out similar
bracing, but it's on both doors. I can feel the butt-ends of a
couple pop rivets on both doors, where you'd expect them. I covered
the inside of the doors with some thin, 'bubble wrap' insulation for
a bit of padding but, to my surprise, it caused the doors to make a
most-satisfying 'thunk' when closed (I think they have the best
sound of any of my car or truck doors). I think that without the
bracing the doors would make a pretty hollow sound. Why one door
only? Maybe it's a 'Monday car.'<br>

My BN2 was original when I restored it and that type of brace
was not on the car. I suspect someone added it at some point in
the car's life.<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">Has anyone ever run into something like
this, this is what appears to be a brace that was in the
driver side door in the BN2 I am currently restoring. At
the top it was attached to the horizontal wood piece held
there with two countersunk wood screws. At the bottom, it
entered and turned to the inside and was secured with two
rivets to the door bottom frame piece.</p>
