Default Bmr torque arm hitting gas line bracket

I have the tsp true duals and flipped the gas line bracket to move the lines away from the exhaust. Then a few months later I installed the bmr torque arm with the relocation crossmember and its hitting the gas line bracket. What do you guys do about this? Any help would be appreciated. Oh it's the bracket near the tail shaft of the tranny.

This has nothing to do with the BMR TA. It's the exhaust. The TSP TD exhaust requires quite a bit of adjustment esp when you're using it on an aftermarket (whether it be UMI, BMR or Spohn) torque arm that is designed for a stock y-pipe setup.

My bmr TA001 is designed to work with the tsp td's. and for what I understand is that everyone that runs the tsp td's flips their fuel line bracket. Just was wondering if there is a easy solution before I cut and reroute my gas lines.
BMR Sales2 I'll try to send a pic of it tonight.

Sounds good. Just send the pics over when you get a chance and I will look them over with my guys here and see what we can come with for you.

Most likely its the height adjustment for the front of the TA.
Try moving it down to the next lower position.

That is not correct. The TSP TD's are designed to work around the BMR TA and other brands. That is why the TDs needs to be adjusted.

You see how many pieces are involved? Six. You may want to call TSP also.

FYI, the BMR #TA001 he listed is not a short body mount model, it's a full length model mounted to a TA relocation transmission cross-member.

I completely understand that. I'm making a point. The BMR and any other aftermarket torque arm is make specifically to work around the stock or aftermarket Y-Pipe and not anything else. The TSP TD was designed to work around aftermarket TAs and the stock TA which is why it comes in so many pieces for adjustability.

And reasoning of posting this you see this same type of post when someone has an exhaust that is different from the standard Y-pipe and installs an aftermarket TA.
