I may or maynot have a problem

Hey guys, I have a New Zealand 93(right hand drive) & I want to get a FTSB. But my problem is that where I pour in brake fluid, there is 1 of the brake lines there. I have a pic of my situation. I don't want to f**k up my car for a brace, so any help would be appreciated

those are Aussie corners, euro/UK are dark on both parts of the lense

the Oz ones are also raised a little bit where the 194 bulb goes (the dark portion)

and yeah, they are sweet

Brings a tear to my eye...

The link below is an online shop based in Australia that seems legit and has the AUS/NZ clears corners listed 50% cheaper than OEM Nissan, but I've never ordered from them myself so buyer beware. Remember to roughly half all prices for AUS/US dollar conversion.

EdzMax, the FSTB's will fit fine. Don't worry about the brakeline its well out of the way.

Are you sure, just looking at the pic of ure car, ure brake fluid mech. sits lower than mine. It justs looks like for my car it will sit right on the line. By the way, where did you get ures from? Do you still have a part number for it? Some of the stores over here are useless

Its an aftermarket brake master cylinder in the photo but I had the brace fitted with the original BMC for ages previous to that.

Take another look at my engine bay and you'll see the mount the bar connects to is more in-line with the furthest forward strut bolt, not the center bolt. So if you roughly picture a line across your bay going from the front bolts it clears the brakeline easily.

Thats the older style Courtesy Nissan (US) FSTB in the pic. Nothing available off-the-shelf in Australia.
