Default RE: GP Reactor Bipe strengthening

I have a slightly more difficult problem right now. I accidentally mounted the wing brace the wrong way round. In trying to correct this, I broke the brace. There is some damage to the fuse as well but I repaired that. Now, the brace isint available for purchase seperately, only with the fuse and since installing the brace is one of the later steps, I already have assembled many of the parts on to the fuselage. Thus there is no point in ordering a seperate fuselage (and in any case, they are out of stock right now). Wrote to GP requesting them to send me a replacement brace and told them I was willing to bear the costs for that but so far no response

Does the brace actually serve a structural purpose or should I simply mould it out of some high density polystyerene (the extruded variety which can be sanded)?
