[Mk2] [Generic] Fitting Coilovers - brake line advise please

Post by alan1150 »

I have a set of HSD coilovers which i'll be fitting soon, i was wondering if anyone has encountered same problem as i will have as regards the brake lines.
The HSD coilovers dont appear to have anywhere to clip the brake line to like on a standard shock.
Has anyone encountered this problem if so what did you do as it can't be good to have to brake lines unsecure.

cable tie should do the job wont be the prettiest but you could probably hide it quite easily

Yeah i thought cable tie not sure if m.o.t testing would approve thou.

Would be best with a nice secure bracket, guess i'll have to fabricate something to work better but cable ties look like the easy option for a quick fix.
