Brake Hose installation - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Hey everyone. I posted this over in the suspension section since I wasn't quite sure were to put it. I'm not getting any responce so I thought I'd try this section. I did a stupid thing this weekend. On my '72 2 wheel drive blazer, I took off both from brake hoses to replace them and now can't remember exactly how the clips that hold them on work. I have one clip, square in shape with a groove cut in it. I know that it slides over one groove in the brake hose by the bracket on the A-arm. At the connection of the hard line and hose. I also have an oval in shape click, short of E-click looking, and this is what I can't seem to figure out or remember. How does it clip on? Anyone have a good picture or diagram of the set up? Thanks.

It's a little blurry, but this is the way mine is.

The E-clip goes on one side of the bracket and the square flat clip goes on the other.
