Retaining brake lines

Post by pulux »

Hi all. Just wondering what people have done as far as retaining their extended brake lines? I haven't had a problem with mine since i've had them on (~1yr) but somehow my front pass. side managed to get caught up on the tyre and shredded it.. :? Have had a search and a look around the web but can't find anything, plus looking under the car nothing pops up that i can retain them with/to.

So how have you guys done this? With springs and a loop or something? I've got braided ones on the way and don't want the same thing to happen. Pics would also be of help!

Thanks.

I just used a small cable tie and a spring.

use a nice long spring that dosent have much tension on it.
