I just do not feel comfortable installing my procarparts FSTB with it resting on the AC line. Seems many have not had this problem -- guess my car is just weird. What bar can I get so that this will not be a problem? Looks to me like the Stillen one would work, but I don't really want to spend $200 for one. Let me know...thanks...

 

tweek the a/c line ever so slightly to get clearance. The a/c line bracket nearest the clearance problem will bend slightly. If it clears by a 1/16th of an inch it clears by a mile. The Procarparts FSTB looks just like the Courtesy FSTB and thats what I did. Should work for you.

 

I have the one from procarparts.com amd you just have to bend the AC line down a little that's all and you will be fine OK?.......

 

Doesn't that fstb arch up like the others. Maybe it is upside down. I know i didn't have a problem with the ac line.

 

it is mounted so hi it doesn't rest on AC line but it touches the hood liner in 4 places.

 

My Stillen seems fine.

 

My Stillen bar was just barely touching my A/C line, so I slightly rotated the A/C Line bracket by loosening the bolt where it attaches to the car. The A/C Line then dropped down slightly, I retightened the bolt and clearance is no longer an issue.

 

Thanks. I will take a look at it again today.

 

Took that braket off, now maybe I am missing the boat here, but that thing is not moving becuse of the hard connection at the firewall. Any more suggestions?

 

The Courtesy one does not hit the AC line. It does touch the hood liner (the padded part) a little bit though.
