Hello All, just got my new Festiva

[freshtiva]

You can buy a three foot section of brake line with the double flare and fittings all ready on it. Just bend it my hand to imitate the bends in the original.

Sounds like a good idea, i heard from some co workers that there was such a thing. Just wondering if its worth my time. Like i have a list of things i know its gonna fail for when it goes thru inspection. And if the mechanic asks more than i want to pay, i will take the list of items and fix them all myself, then give the car back to him to give me a sticker. Its what i did on my last car, and saved $600.00

Id think it would be worth your time. Uneven front braking on a slick road may not be good for you or the festiva. Shouldnt take very long to do anyway.

Call the cops ! You stole that car. Why are festivas alway missing the battery hold down pieces ? Do people just throw those away ?

Welcome to the forum !!!!

they had hold down brackets?!

[jesteratc]

"hold down brackets"? lol yeah, i was wondering about that as well, any pics?

You can see the bracket in this picture:

It's pretty much 3 metal pieces - 2 hook onto the battery tray and bolt onto one that goes across the battery.
