Has anyone tried to mount the restraints for the front and rear clips. These are hold the clips open, or more correctly stop them opening too far.

From what I have been able to glean from the few pictures I have seen the normal method is to mount a pair of wire cables to each clip, one on each side.

Front - between the outside top swaybar mounting bolt and the inside of the inner wheel arches

Rear - between top shock absorber mount and the inside of the inner wheel arches.

Has anyone done this? At first look the cables look too long and likely to flap around and damage things when the clips are closed. Is there a better way or am I missing something?

Thanks

John
