    I plan on the predator front and wrap around back with the tire swing out carrier. I need to talk to them Monday to get further specs because I’m not sure how many Jerry cans the swing out can carry

    Due to a leak, I replaced the two AC lines attached to the dryer. For one of the lines, the original part number has been replaced by one for a kit. Pretty straight forward except for a small plastic clip that seems to be to provide a gap to prevent damage by unintended contact between the lines.

    However, no instructions so I am not sure where it actually goes. Need advice of an expert like @Empty_Lord

    Due to only about 2mm clearance after install, I placed the plastic clip here. Doesn't seem like the correct spot, but neither did any other area I tried.

    Ah, okay. It had a TSB AC007-97 (1995-1999, I believe) paper in the box, but I didn't try to look it up. Apparently there was an issue with that short line cracking.

    No problem. It's gonna be fine the way I installed it. I was just curious if my guess was correct.

    Thank you.

    Man, I started to try inserting it where they describe, but I thought they would not risk someone damaging their condenser. Especially since there seems to be good STATIC clearance. They must be worried about movement due to harmonic vibration.

    Thanks again.
