Title: Question for you chaps with Coilovers
Post by: gmogle on November 10, 2006, 02:43:16 PM
Got my Buddyclub stuff today,

On the front suspension there isnt a bracket to hold the brake line.

What have you guys done about this ? Do you fabricate your own ? Or not bother ?

Any help would be great.

Cheers,
Gareth

Sounds strange - mine came with the bracket (first 2 on right)  and you just use the existing insert to hold the line in :

Nah these are Buddyclub ones, here is a pic (from when Nurspec was selling....I bought)

The threaded damper is huge on the Buddyclubs compared to the Teins...weird.

Mind you the HKS ones are the same:

Cheers for the quick response though mate,

It should be fairly easy to fabricate a little clamp arrangement thingy....either that or use a couple of heavy duty cable ties ;)

Lol was thinking about the cable ties or tie wraps (always keep these in my car....you could write a book on the uses for them!!)

Will have a walk through B&Q at the weekend and see what I can find.

Was amazed at the amount of thread on the damper though....especially as the spring doesnt stretch that far lol

I\'ve cable tied mine to one of the suspension arms they don\'t snag at all and are tidily out of the way,

Mine look like they have original brackets cut off standard shocks, held in place with jubilee clamps, fully adjustable, does the job!
