Hi

I have the Minispares long braided brake lines for the rear prt# C-AJJ4031B

Do any of you guys/girls have any pics of how you ran/secured these lines to your rear radius arms?
My thoughts were that tie wraps would wear thru the line

Thanks

Sean

I think I debated zipping them and then just left them free and fancy.

A nylon cable tie isn't go to abraid stainless steel. I removed the bracket for the pipe to hose union and screwed a P clip around the hose in its place.

I would do as ethel says remove the original bracket by grinding off rivet drill out rivet and thread it or use self tapping screw with a p clip. if your lowering the car by any amount i would recommend removing the bracket and then securing the pipe to the rear of the radius arm so there is no clearance issue with the brake pipe and bottom edge of arch like sometimes happens
