Brake tech?

skipnrocks · Apr 13, 2015

How do you hold your brake lines and hard fuel lines in place? I have seen brake tabs but not sure if you can use them on a standard T or other brake joints.

On a related note same question for running fuel line?

Zip ties

Adel clamps, either weld a bolt to the frame for a stud, or tap a hole.

Weld a thin peice of metal to frame or link in the shape of a J. Smash it shut with vice grips or pry it back open.

Weld on zip tie tabs, they look like a capital A. Weld the feet on and the zip tie around the cross bar.

I haven't seen these but I like the idea.

They make 3 sizes, buy the biggest.

you can buy them at harbor freight but the ones from fastnal are much better I welded a small bolt and nut everywhere I wanted one works great

Re:

They make them in lots of sizes you can even get a 1.75 inch one to go around tube and then bolt a small one to it to route wires and break lines very clean with nothing permanent

I use almost all of the above depending on where and how. But I also plumb everything -AN, including brakes, and in areas that I wouldn't want to repair on the trail I break up long runs by using bulkhead fittings on brackets. Like in my underbelly where it would be a PITA to mess with one big long length.
