brake line clips
Im working on installing all new brakelines from front to back. I got the dual line from a booster to disc and drum on back. I dont have the body on the frame yet but im looking for diff ways to secure my lines. I ordered clips from lmc but the just have a hole in them as if i need to bolt them on. But the only one i saved from teardown is the kind you push threw the frame. Just wanting some ideas and pics please and where you got the clips would be great. Thanks

Re: brake line clips
I used expensive stainless half round clips designed for brake lines that I drilled and tapped holes for in the frame (10-32). On the cross member I used rubber covered metal clips that would hold double lines. The local hot rod shop sold them for a couple of bucks apiece and then I noticed harbor freight has an assortment for cheap. Even though I was done, I bought them and compared and I can't see a difference. These could be used the length of the frame as well.
