Here is what I need input about... Does this look right to you? Can the line touch the bracket? I tried to bend it but thats all I could do. Does it need more?

you have 2 options, 1) unclip the line and place it in front of the white clip or (2) slightly bend the gold bracket a touch flatter to push the line forward. Looks good though!

I was wondering the same thing about the AC line and I would love to get some info on what you did and how you did it.

looks good. The AC line is hit or miss. Some of us had to bend it, some didn't.

New Pics...



This one shows the white clip and the A/C line.




Does anyone have a problem getting this "push pin" in there?

I have a Stillen FTSB but they have a similar issue. I removed it from the plastic clip and as an added safety precaution I used a zip tie and secured it to the bigger line to the right which tends to pull it away for no chance of rubbing!!! ~0_0~

I used a small black zip tie to keep it further away from the bar. Also, I placed a piece of electrical tape on the back side of the FSTB in case it ever decided to rub.

I drilled a new hole in the gold colored bracket
[I put a small piece of scrap wood under it while I drilled so I wouldn't drill into the inner fender]
the new location of the white clip that holds the AC line in place is now more toward the
engine & the front of the car so now there is more clearance at the AC line & the FSTB

Good fabrication Machinist, so I put in the missing clip first and then tried to put the others in, still no work. That empty hole just bugs me. The plastic piece is hitting the strut bar mount and wont let the piece go down all the way. Any suggestions? I thought of grinding the mount down just a little.

^ Try this, loosen the mount [there should be a little play in the mounting holes]
& relocate for the needed clearance. Grinding may the only answer tho
