Thanks Bill! It makes sense that they'd want the extra assurance that hose isn't going to rub the seams right about it. I really shouldn't be surprised that they've been discarded to liberally (at least in this area). I wonder if in many cases the screw hasn't just backed out and the bracket fallen away over time.

i have that on mine as well..
nearest the firewall a support screws into the center.. i never thought anything of it except for when your messing with the hoses back there or taking your valve covers off.. it then becomes painstakingly noticeable and a pain in the arse. you can remove the support w/o any ill effects. if you don't wish to put your hose ontop of it to prevent rubbing. Ive had it off and had it on.

whilst were in the thread with the pictures.. did you see how his valve cover screws arent in all the way.
I have on on the passenger back right corner that looks like that but is tight.. could there be something in the hole that is preventing it form threading the full way in. any way to remedy it?

oh and how the hell did you get a camera back there? =)
