front brake line
bj928 - 18/11/09 at 10:37 PM

looking at getting my front brake lines made soon, but not sure if i need to go one piece or two, from the bracket on the chassis to the caliper is going to be about 16 inches, if i do it as a one piece i will need to clamp it in the middle to stop it floating about in mid air, if i do it in two piece i can weld a bit to the arm the same as on the chassis so as to join it in the middle, is there any rules on clamping the brake pipes ( braided type ) in a rubber innered P clip, or is there another option i'm not thinking about.

one piece
mine are held with zip ties to the bones, fine for sva so should be fine for iva as well

Manufactured cars would use a rubber sleeve over the hose and run it through a steel ring welded to the suspension arm so it can move back and forth...
