Looks great! Is this the final solution to prevent the AC line from chafing?

I am also concerned by the AC line chaffing. Zip tying down the line doesn't seem like a fantastic solution as far as I am concerned. A broken AC line would cost more than I'd save by installing this strut tower brace over another design.

Good catch! I've added a photo to the original post (and below) of the solution that we arrived at. Securing the AC line to the bar is convenient and easy, but under load, they move relative to each other, which would cause additional fatigue and problems. The solution that we chose uses the fuel line bracket/hardline in conjunction with a protective sheath, very similar to what Subaru/Scion have used on the nearby fuel lines to prevent the same issues. You're welcome to get more creative if you'd like, but we can assure you that this solution is sound, easy and economical!

The only feasible alternative to securing the line is to bend the AC hardline and eliminate the problem all together. Recommending that isn't our style though, so please proceed at your own risk!
