Installed FRPP Strut Tower Brace, anyone run into this?
Ok, sorry no pics, but I painted my wife's GTCS cam covers ford blue and put on a strut tower brace (FRPP). I noticed that the A/C lines were going to rub against the brace. I never heard anyone post of this before? is this something new to the 07????.
I ended up getting a home made rubber sleeve (took the rubber cover from my 06 left side crankcase vent I removed when I used braided lines) and put it on the A/C line and zip tied it in place.
Also I noticed that the bottom of the battery box has a rubber "tit" now on the 07's. it is totally in the way of removing the cam cover. It is not a vent or really for anything. So Mr. Hacksaw blade made him leave.
anyone else run into this?

i've experienced this first hand with my 2006 Mustang GT.. so it's not a new problem
the moment i put the FRPP brace on, i noticed it didn't clear the Midwest Autogear Plenum cover, and it touched the Aluminum AC lines..
it didn't really concern me at the time though..
i know she's dirty.. but she's been "topless" for almost 3 weeks while on her extreme makeover![Smile](https://themustangsource.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)

That is a lot of parts! Great color choices- I wish I could have found a Tungsten with red interior, but I didn't have the time to place an order.
Those colors remind me of the Aston Martins from the 70's... very nice.
