Mounting hard brake lines on axle

My brake line tabs have all broken or rusted off. What is the best way to kemp brake lines from moving?

I have seen plastic zip ties and metal hose clamps. Has anyone rebuilt factor looking tabs that weld back onto the axle?

I’m looking for the most secure way that doesn’t look like an afterthought or hillbilly repair.

Re: Mounting hard brake lines on axle

Just saw this. If you have a welder friend, you can bend up some clips and he can tack them on. Just make sure that the tabs are shaped so that the lines don't get crushed when you hammer the tabs over. It doesn't take much to hold the line from rattling.
