Default Quick questions

1. Is their any issue with putting 2 small self tappers into the front subframe right below the A/C lines? Need to mount my fuel filter but not enough space on the frame rail to get a good mount without worrying about it coming loose.

2. I have the new coolant pipe form Kraken for the lowmount with A/C. Problem is it very slightly touches the sway bar, I believe it may be one of the early FM bars as it's grey in color, has zerk fittings on the mounts, and 2 adjustment holes on the front bar, and 3 on the rear. I was thinking of getting the v8 roadster sway bar mounts as they have multiple mounting holes for the sway bars. My concern then is if I move the bar forward it will hit the cooling fans. What do people do in that scenario?

Dent the coolant pipe just enough to clear the sway bar?

Simple yet effective, genius I tell you...

I cant believe I didn't think of this, probably the sense that everything is new and shiny and I don't like to hammer new shiny things
