Brake Tube Support Bracket

[jonesallu]

I'm redoing the entire brake system on my '71 and am going to retain the stock tube/hose configuration from the master cylinder to the pressure differential valve. I'm looking for the bracket 2A275 in the attached parts brake system illustration, or an equivalent. This is not a show restoration but I want the bracket so the tubes don't strain too much in combination with the hoses. The part number is C7TZ 2A275-C and is 7-3/4" long per the parts text. I know I can make one but I just want to buy one and get it over with. Any vendors make a aftermarket one? I looked on the internet and am not seeing any.

Thanks for any help finding one,
Al Jones
71 Bronco.

A quick search on Northeast Classic's website didn't pull up anything, but he'd be my first choice in looking for something like that.

Northeast Classic's

Thanks, but I did look there. I might have to make one - at least it's not complicated.

Give Northeast a call first. Not everyone updates their sites daily with what they've got, so it might be a "hidden gem" of sorts.
And then in a pinch you can also call Randy at Driven Auto Parts in Phoenix. They've got tons of good condition used stuff from tons of Broncos collected over the years.

If neither of those turn up anything useful, you can always spend a bit more time on the phone or computer with companies like us (Wild Horses) and Tom's and Jeff's and BCB just in case they've got one laying around collecting dust on a shelf.
It happens and sometimes you get lucky.

Of course, the Parts Wanted and Parts for Sale forums right here might pay off as well.

Good luck!

Yes, I saw this but I don't like stainless. It will be a last resort. Thanks for posting.

Paul, yes I debated on that, but I could not find a single reference to this part on CBs. So I thought a post in the tech section might help someone down the road if they are looking as well.

Can anyone please add a photo(s) of the bracket in place? Does it go under brake hose bolt? I can't find any other holes with my initial frame reconnaissance.

Thanks,

Here’s a couple pics of the bracket on a ‘70 from above and below. It bolts to the side of the frame right by the H block.

Location is an few inches in front of the brake hose, closer to the top of the frame.

Thank you!! Mystery solved.

What’s the spring LUBr luvR? Clutch return?
Should not ride on the brake hose or anything else.
Should be a hole in the engine mount tower for it.

Also, in what month was your bronco built?
Looks like it’s got some’71 characteristics.

 

[DirtDonk]

Or is the apparent proximity to the hoses just the angle of the picture?

Hey Paul,
Yes, clutch return spring.. I think the angle the pics were taken at is making things appear closer than the are - but will definitely double check, and appreciate the observation.

Build date is Oct 17, 1969, so on the earlier side of 1970 production. What ‘71 features has your eagle eye spotted?

I was looking at the firewall wiring.
Does yours still have the two rectangular firewall connectors behind the engine? Or does it have grommets with sections of wiring harness coming out of both corners of the engine compartment in addition to behind the engine?
