    I got a bunch of heater pipe clips & replaced a few....the passenger side is a no-brainer, but not recalling what held the driver's side stuff in place.
    Hi Rich,

    If I recall correctly, the AC hose was fastened to the frame with zip ties / tie straps that had a plastic barb in them to go in a hole in the frame. (SP10382?). I didn't remove the AC hose, but when I installed the SS clutch line, I zip tied it to the AC hose ( snug, but not tight). I also ensured neither hose was in striking distance of the closing plate bolt ends.

    Cheers,
    Dana

    The last one needs to be rotated to the left.

    Let me know if they are what you needed.

    Dana, can I trouble you for a few more pics?

    I'm looking for a view from inside of each front wheel well so I can see everything from the FFE to the radiator, and also the lower speedo cable routing.

    I know I took pics of all this stuff, but having a helluva time finding my own pics -lol

    Thanks!

    *Edit...I just found which folder had the pics I was looking for, but still interested in the pics mentioned above if it's convenient.

    Thanks Dana!

    I'm still wondering; where/how is the lower speedo cable routed? I can see it's to the rear of the suspension, but how is the "slack" routed? Or, do you not have a big loop to deal with on your car?

    I think I have too much length (story of my life.) If I keep it all to the rear of the suspension, I have a very big loop. IIRC, 10372's lower cable was routed around toward the front of the suspension.

    Dude, your car is always amazing to look at...the view never gets old.

    Not sure if it was correct, but my speedo cable was attached (loosely) to some thing on the wheel hub to support it, then was just hanging from there.
    Looking at the parts page on dmc's store, there is supposed to be a bracket on some cars to hold it.

    I can try to get some pics later but my wheel isnt off, so hard to get up under there.

    My caliper has the bracket:

    But the lower cable is so long, I have a bigass loopty-loop if I don't route it around toward the front (as seen in the pic.)

    You're welcome Rich. My cable has a big loop from where it exits out the body to the knuckle. It's not overly long. I try not to restrict the gentle loop. There is a metal bracket available to support the cable ( 110528 ) at the knuckle end, but I believe it was vin specific. My vin has a plastic clip SP10396 that I haven't installed yet as it won't clip around my cable. I have a black zip tie that takes it's place for now. I think it's important to use 110528 or something similar to support the cable at that end.

    Thanks for the compliment on the car!

    Edit: I see from the picture posted that you have the SP10396 clip.

    Replacement lower speedo cables are much shorter.
