Hello all,


Looking at my car, it appears that the A/C lines are in the way for installing a front strut brace. I've looked at several other G37's and they all seem to be slightly different, some have a lot more room around the A/C lines, where others like mine are right in the way. I guess this is production line assembly variations, seems weird though.
What do you do about that? Gently bend them out of the way?

They are secured via zip ties. Just cut the zip ties, install the brace, move the existing lines out of the way and zip tie them again

 

There are no zip ties holding the hard line on the drivers side.
The hard line goes through the panel {via a small rubber grommet} behind the strut tower, and the hard line is attached to inner fender with a plastic clip on the inside of the strut tower.
I can pull it out of the plastic clip no problem, and that gives me some wiggle room, but where the hard line {with the refrigerate charge access port}, comes up and bends right on top of the strut mounting point.
Maybe I can snake the brace underneath the line, but I think the brace arm will still sit right on top of the line and cover up the access port.
Hummmm....
