Securing brake lines?

New housing and ran new brake lines that I bent myself. Wondering if I should put a bracket to hold the lines in place similar to the factory setup?

Bent this up and was thinking I’d weld to the housing and paint it black. Do I need more than 1 on the passenger side? And do I need one on driver side? Does my bracket look ok?

It looks great but is too big. But I would just slip a 1/2” long piece of rubber hose over the lines before you flare the second one and let your bracket grab the rubber hose.

I can make it smaller, I just used a screwdriver for the loop. I like the rubber idea but the lines are all done so hose won’t work.

Cut the hose length so you can slip it over the line now. Brackets look great!

Looks good. Suggest stainless.


That would be awesome but I’d have to go shopping, lol.

This came off a fender I pulled out of a neighbors scrap pile.
