      I bought Ford Escort lines from technafit with the clear coating, they don't fit in the line holders onmy S/R struts.

        technafit lines do not fit in properly, you have to modify the bracket

              I knew i'd take **** for posting that and would probably say the same thing to somebody else. It's more like the opening is too large not to small, so dremling it out would only make it worse. Call it ghetto, but it was the only solution I saw at the time. I check on them everytime I change oil, rotate tires, check brakes, etc and have even replaced them for piece of mind.

              Some interesting facts about zip ties
              "I'd like to point out the half-life of a zip tie (the time it takes for it to disintegrate 1/2 way):

              minimum, 25 years

              just sitting out in the open somewhere, a zip tie would probably last in a usable state for 1,000 years, pop can a little longer, heck a CIGGY BUTT is 12 years (look it up)"

                  lol, don't take that as condoning the use of zip ties as a proper method of attachment for car parts. It was what I had on hand, but perhaps it's time I get to the hardware store and see if I can fab a more permanent bracket.

                      Yeah, I'm guessing that Darryl's will fit, but I got mine for pretty cheap IIRC and they do feel like quality lines. It could be because of the S/R struts, I'm not really sure.

                        I'd assume Darryl's fit. I don't know why they wouldn't. They are made for the Protege.

                        I have the ZX2 S/R struts and the CS lines for the Protege, and they fit perfectly. So I'm assuming the Protege and ZX2 struts have the same bracket, and that the CS and Darryl's lines are pretty similar.

                          I might take a look at them again when I change the transmission fluid and see what I can come up with.
