Question 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.

Re: brake line clips

i went to the local electrical supply and bought a 50pc box made by thomas and betts for $6.00 i believe the number was an-3 and is 3/16 id x 1/2 inch wide metal identical to the inline tube clamps that cost $1.00 each
