This is primarily directed at people with Air-Con and the J's strut brace;
I guess some people have had their strut brace fitted for some time now, and I am wondering if anyone has had any issues with how the Air-Con pipe sits through the strut mount and pushes up against the rocker cover of the engine, or where the pipe gets 'pinched' slightly where the bar mounts the bracket, as in the pics below (courtesy of Badboy)
Has anyone found any adverse affects on the Air-Con system, or found any wear and tear on the pipe where its pinched and sits against the rocker cover.
I am looking to order one this week, so any help and info would be greatly appreciated.
Also, when fitting, is there any tricky bits?? I fitted a strut brace to my last car ok, but the Air_Con pipe concerns me a bit, do you have to 'bend' it much?? Also how tight did you do the suspension strut top nuts back up?? As I dont want to overtighten them and cross the thread.
Cheers.
