riostra/tornapunta
Explanation:
A ver, a veces los términos son demasiado vagos, pero veo que aquí precisan bastante más. "Brace" es una riostra, como te comentaba en elo anterior, es decir, "la pieza que asegura, tiangulando, la rigidez de un entramado, un ángulo, etc.". Uff, a ver si aparece alguna otra y podemos desenredarlas todas. Un saludo.
