611 Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 (edited) I have always been looking for a nice neat way to run the brake pipes over the back axel. I know some people run braided right across and cable tie them or if your using solid you can use those pesky little tabs that break off! So one day while helping a friend replace the exhaust rubbers on his American truck, i was crawling around underneath and i noticed they use a clip to hold the brake pipe in place! so after a better look and some Googleing i came across the clips! I now have some and they are Awesome :-) And here they are fitted They need a rubber piece around the axel as the American one is larger, but that's all and fitted in about 20 mins for both sides. I couldn't find them over here but if you want the part number it is: 15234822 and its called a STRAP. They are about $5 each. And they come on the 2007 Chevy silverado. Got them from these guys http://www.gmpartshouse.com/ but they wanted an arm and a leg to post to UK ! If you need a couple of more pictures here are the links, and if you want any more info just PM me. http://www.theopelpr...40820121832.jpg http://www.theopelpr...40820121834.jpg http://www.theopelpr...40820121836.jpg Andy Edited August 4, 2012 by 611 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mantadoc Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 Cool. Looking at picture no2 what happens when you bottom the car out on the bump stops? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
611 Posted August 5, 2012 Author Share Posted August 5, 2012 I have just set them up to see how they would fit, so need to move them around to make sure they don't hit anything :-) But so much easier than faffing about with other ways of fitting them. Will also hold the solid pipe nice and tight so i can then run the Goodridge braided hose straight from there to the calliper :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bones Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 I used these to stop my braided hoses from rubbing the axle. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/50-X-CABLE-TIE-TIES-MOUNTS-SADDLES-BASES-5MM-WIDE-BLACK-/280899065689?pt=UK_BOI_Electrical_Components_Supplies_ET&hash=item4166e39759 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Julian Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 (edited) Motolink and Spafax were selling those 15 years ago, we used to buy them in packets of ten. Brilliant fastnenings. Edited February 11, 2013 by Julian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
