Can someone double check this? [PICs of FTSB]

So I just installed a FTSB and I had a few questions.

One the passenger side, it is sitting really close, literally on-top, of what I believe is the AC recharge line. Is it supposed to be this close? And if so, is this safe? http://ahsan.fotopic.net/p13033161.html It looks like its touching but its actually not. Theres about enough room to slide in a sheet of paper, ya so not much.

This next one, I had to flip the Swirl Control/Valve Control/Vacuum Check Switch as mentioned in the write-up. The wire seems like it just made it. Did I do this right? http://ahsan.fotopic.net/p13033163.html

For the overall effect: http://ahsan.fotopic.net/p13033165.html

Thanks all.

The driver's side looks fine, but I'd get a couple of washers under the passenger's side. I bet it rubs when the engine torques.

Oddly enough... my FSTB doesn't have that problem, because that line is nowhere near it. Maybe it's just routed differently on the VQ35-powered Maxima.

Like George said... stick some washers under the brackets... should be a good enough fix...
