Title: Emergency bake cable question
Post by: TurboFource on Monday,February 20, 2023, 09:42:34 AM

Does the U-shaped emergency brake cable holder inside the chassis rub on the bottom of the coolant tubes when everything
is assembled? (It looks like it could)

Not sure. I put insulation on my transfer tubes so they might and I wouldn't know. I don't remember it making any noise when the car was new but that was a long time ago and I don't use the e-brake unless I absolutely have to like stop on a hill.

Yes.  Weird design, but I have not noticed a rattle over other Europa noises.

When tight, it should clear the pipes, just.
