Bottom hose support bracket

This is a nice quick job and is pretty self explanatory. As it currently stands the lower hose is only supported by the two silicone bends at either end on the radiator and engine, GBS produce a simple bracket which fits under the steering column to provide some solid support to the hose and stop it swaying.

All that is needed is to drill a hole and rivnut a plastic cable tie cradle to the bracket. The bracket my need a bend up or down dependent on how the lower hose runs between the radiator and engine, mine needed some slight adjustment but nothing too significant.

The bracket is secured in place under the steering column (corresponding spacer put in at the other end to level the steering column) and held in place with the "U" bolts securing the steering column.

the lower pipe is then cable tied to the bracket - not done as yet as I will need to remove the steering column for when I vinyl wrap the side panels.
