flexi hose and speedo cable mounting
My single seater build is coming on and I've fitted the front flexi hoses and the speedo cable which is driven off one of the front wheels.
Being a single seater, there is a fair gap between the wheel and the bodywork. Will the MSVA inspector want to see the hoses and cable supported in
the middle or will supports on the chassis alone be adequate? I could weld a tag onto the under side of the upper wishbone to hang them off if
needed. There's about 400 or 500mm of unsupported hose as it stands.
Edit to say in the straight ahead position there is 340mm between the last support and the connector on the master cylinder, which doesn't seem
so bad.

Not sure what the inspector would say, but 40-50cm unsupported sounds like a bit too much to me. I would add the tabs, as long as it still gives
enough bending room for the cables/flexis
