I hope our phone conversation sheds some light on your situation. You can invert the bracket with the factory bracket still in place that will give you just the little extra clearence you will need. If it is still not enough and you do not feel comfortable then the lines are hard lines and with a little preasure and persuasion they can be slighly repositioned. What we need to understand is not every car is the same when it comes down the assembly line. So there can be a slight varience from car to car. Please let me know what your final outcome is.

Bringing this one back from the grave. Does anyone have pictures of exactly what needs to be flipped over or inverted? I just had ARH LTs put on my 07z and am not comfortable with how close the trans lines are to the passenger's side header.

I won't have a chance to get the car in the air until this weekend but has anyone had problems with oil cooler lines and LTs? I haven't seen many mentions of it but this thread has me nervous: https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...e-in-mine.html

Oh, its been known to happen... https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...own-sword.html

Get up in there, gently move the lines to get some clearance, wrap them in DEI heat tape.
