[200q20v] Squeaky leather

[Phil Rose]

Kneale,
Looks like your post crossed with my last one--in which I mentioned the
problem of interference by the fuel lines. I'll have a closer look at the
clamp that holds those lines to the firewall--it didn't seem obvious how to
get it free. But if I can manage to do that--and if those lines then can be
moved a couple of centimeters, it should be quite helpful.
