well im going to fit a decat to my 172. the old bolts on the cat to centre section are well and truly rusted so unless wd40 helps it overnight it looks like the ol angle grinder will be coming out:evil: am i correct in thinking its just a standard 13mm nut and bolt combo (maybe with a couple...

one thing my car failed its MOT on yesterday was the front brake lines touching the wheel when at full lock. took my wheel off today and noticed the lines run behind the shock, this pic will help understand should they be like that or should they run in front of the shock?
