P-clipping brake/fuel lines
Hello all.
I can't seem to find the section in the SVA manual that refers to the max distance between fixings (300mm) and how they can be fixed.
Does anyone know if it's suitable to fix to the aluminium floor rather than a chassis rail (or an ali panel along the chassis rails)?
Cheers
Steve

If you fix them to the floor, I doubt they would last a week, these cars have a tendancy to bottom out regularly
If you can keep you head, whilst all others around you are losing theirs, you are not fully aware of the situation

Just thought it might have been easier to fix than drilling through the chassis rails, plus it would prevent any possible reduction in the chassis
strength.
Surely if the floor rivets don't get knocked off from bottoming out, the p-clips wont either?

Personally I wouldn't mount brake or fuel lines anywhere that risks getting grounded or hit by debris. It is surely best to mount them above the
point of 'first contact' and tuck them away somewhere safe.
