calling BC coilover owners.

Post by gerbil1028 »

Last owner has cabled tied the brake lines to coilovers, standard lines.

Looking online it says this should not be needed with BC coilovers

Any thoughts.

A photo or two will help to see what you have got and why it is not fitted the right way

Won't get to car until later.

Just curious as most online info says there's mount points on coilovers for lines to bolt too

there are mounting points off the coilover bottom brackets for brake lines to clip into.

There should be a mounting point just above and 90degree to one side for it, your brake lines also need clips to secure it to the coilover

So as last owner cable tied to coilover and I can't see anywhere am I just blind?

Have not looked that hard yet I admit. Winder if he just lost all the clips and cable tied instead ?

Can't believe I am going to admit this.

All brackets are present And correct the cable tied wires I was looking at was the abs sensor wires.
