If you look at mines Jimmy, it looks like mine are sitting against the coilover with a cable tie.

I had a similar problem... For my pipes your supposed to use the original clip that held held the original pipes onto that bracket. The clip didn't fit well with the new pipes and kept falling off, so I binned them and used cable ties instead.

hello peopl ive spoken to the very nice andy at rally design to see if he could over come the problem im having.......... the line i measured them are 5 inches too long :shock: :? :x so it rubs on the wheel
this braided hoses is suppost to fit like the standard brake hoses does..and he is dumbfuned that no one has phoned up to complain about the kit before :shock: :? .he said he has made at least 70 kits and its just littl old me phoning up to ask :shock: :?

andy was very helpful and has asked me to send him a original hose and the braided ones so he can make me ones that fit yippee i cant wait to fit them............. so any problems phone andy he will sort you out


ps he was quite horrified when i mention people used cable ties to hold the hoses to the strut as well so check on them it liable to cause a serious problem..ill keep you guys posted

5" too long what length are they???

MOT should turn you down for pipes rubbing against "Hardware" so using some copper pipe lagging with a couple of cable ties is a trick fix mine came of the boat with this mod already but guys at mot warned me if it moves out of the holder on the strut its a failure for the next time :?

Do you know if you can reuse the ends? if so then a hose supplier should be able to order the two propper clips needed which slide over the hose and also trim the hose down to required length look up Earls agents near you

I rekon mine were too long. Also had the same problem with rubbing on wheel. I ended up clipping the pipe to the inner wing to make sure it stayed away from touching anything else.
