Clamping brake lines to axle tubes?

[BigT]

What do you guys use? My tabs are broken off, and short of welding new ones on (which is a possibility) what do y'all suggest? I'd like something that is durable and doesn't look like a complete **** show.

I'd probably put a piece of fuel hose around it and zip tie it to the axle lol

On the British cars, this is done with a metal band that has a "U" pressed into it for the brake line to sit in, and then the band is wrapped around the axle and doubled back (think something like a zip-tie but made of steel). The stainless steel bands that are used with the header insulation wrap kits are almost the exact same thing (and readily available at most parts stores). If you have a press and could put the "U" shape into the metal, this would work well and while not factory would give an actual manufactered-looking solution instead of just hose clamps/zip ties/etc.

My lines are -3 the axle lines are tight enough they won't really go anywhere so they are just zip tied to prevent them from flapping around. The lines along the frame rails (Level7 kit) came with screw on plastic clips.

Hard to explain but I'll try, a large zip tie around the axle,and brake line another ziptie between the axle and the brake line. 2nd zip tie is only around 1st zip tie,pinching it into a secure grip and stand off for the brake line. Did a quick one using 2 colors of zip tie so it's easy to see. Pencil and turkey baster.

Additionally, look at various brake companies. Lots of parts available on the market for this.

I just want to say that Ricko is continuously going above and beyond on this forum and his post is representative of this. While I might respond to a post, he actually takes time to mock up an example and to explain and take pictures. Always positive, helpful posts. Thanks Ricko!

Bandit clamps have a nice look to them when used.
