For any of you running the CMS GT3 billet side cover on your gearbox, what did you do with the coolant hose holder from the old cover? Not seeing a way to mount it to the new one. What do I need to do to keep the hoses off the CV and axle shaft? This is not my photo, but gives a great shot of the bracket and hoses
in question.
I honestly think those covers are a waste of money. We've always run the OEM cover for years of track abuse at +800whp with zero problems. I assume you could improvise and drill and tap an attachment point for the bracket on the CMS cover. Should be easy...
There is a different bracket for the GT3 trans that holds the lines from above. Part number is 996-106-526-90
Where does it attach to? I don't see a point above that general area where this would go. Do you have a photo of one installed? The parts diagram doesn't really show where on the vehicle it goes.
agree, think it's safer still with a beefy diff like the Guard

It's the hole that you see the hose clamp for the -8AN fuel line bolted to on my gearbox. I am not sure if a 996TT gearbox has this or just the GT2/3 gearboxes. I would suspect they are all pre-tapped however.
It was tapped. I was able to fab something for the time being. Thanks for everyone's help. I think I will likely go with the GT3 bracket if the homemade solution presents issues.
If anyone needs them, I have all the GT2/3 heater hoses, pipes, and the above bracket. They are all virtually new as they were replaced a few years ago. I removed these from my car when we removed the heater core system.
