downimpact Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 This is a bit of a newbie questions, but on an jspec tt manual infront of the air con radiator are hard pipes running from the passenger side and back, in S'ish shapes. Are these oil pipes/power steering? I've had to move them to fit a towing eye and they are now resting (layer of foam inbetween) against the air con pipes. are these going to get very hot? Potentially cause a problem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 They're the PAS cooler lines. Most of the FMIC kits relocate and shorten these so I can't imagine you'd get too many problems, so long as they have some cold air flow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nevins Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 Power steering pipes mate , secure them up and you will be fine. Edit D beat me to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downimpact Posted April 28, 2011 Author Share Posted April 28, 2011 Thanks both, yeah still in same location so plenty of cool air just trying to fit 4 pipes and the new towing eye through the same gap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nevins Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 If you remove the 10mm retaining bolt that goes into the chassis leg iirc you can relocate it a bit lower if need be mate. Just knock up a bracket out of a bit of ally or similar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sideexitsupra Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 Why not fit the towing eye on the intercooler side instead? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've not re-attached it to the chassis leg, seems reasonably solid as I've moved the clip slightly at the front and it's pushed down by the towing eye. Plus knocking up a bracket is beyond my tool kit range Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
