Attaching Brake and Fuel Lines

[Jncuts]

What is everyone using to attach their brake and fuel lines to the frame. All the parts suppliers have the dual line brackets to secure the lines, but no one offers a bolt or screw that can be used to attach the bracket to the frame.

The original lines were secured with some type of plastic bracket with a push in friction type connector that secures the lines to the frame. These connectors were destroyed when the original lines were removed.

Any ideas would be appreciated

The frame is easy to drill and tap for bracket bolts/screws. I used little stainless allen head screws on mine with a dab of blue Loc-tite. Lots of others have too.
This is what I used for mine..... http://www.wildhorses4x4.com/produc...nt-Clips-Stainless-Steel-Set-of-6-with-Screws

The original plastic clips are available as well.

Most of my lines are attached with Adel clamps (or equivalent) attached with self-tapping screws.

I went fancy and used BC Bronco's fuel line mounting clamps

I just use industrial cush clamps. Dont know the real name but thats we always called them. Simple metal ring with a rubber band on it and a screw hole. Use a nice looking tech screw and looks really nice

I did as another said and used the stainless clips and drilled/tapped for stainless allen head bolts. Like the look. Also wrapped some shower tub liner around the fuel line to help protect it from chafing.

Very nicely done.

Any concern about your rear brake flex line near the exhaust?

Looks like plastic fuel lines! Do you flare the ends at all or does clamping enough?

Another option if you have the body off is to run the lines on top of the frame.

I used Push-to-Connect fittings for the nylon fuel lines. Currently just T&B zip-ties holding the lines and wiring loom together and to various body mounts etc. I'd be surprised if flaring the plastic would work. Ford just used hose clamps from what I gather.

I went this route and used the BC 3 line clamps. Very trick
