Hi,

I just purchased a set of KAD alloy trailing arms and they didn't come with brake hose brackets. All the other spare arms I have laying around have the brake hose brackets welded to the arm.....any idea where I can find for purchase the brackets for use withteh KAD arms? I can find them on some of the exploded parts views at the various vendor's web sites, but no one has them in stock....

Help!

Wouldn't it just be easier to fabricate a set? One inch X 1/8" aluminum flat bar, bent 90 degrees, drill three holes. Shape, buff....... stand back and admire your work.

as above, just easier to make your own, maybe from some extruded aluminum angle ?

or... my brains just woke up...

Ask KAD ?

Or buy a set of long braided flexible hoses that do away with the solid hose into the cylinder (and hence the join at that bracket) and tie wrap (or similar) to the arm.

i have the long braided hoses that get rid of the solid bit and they are great. they are especially good fro very low cars.
