Rear end clamp for brake lines
 

This fall/winter I plan on running the brake lines on the car. Since I already have the rear end powder coated, I can't weld on any brackets to hold the brake lines onto it. What are you guys using to secure the brake lines to the rear housing??

You could fabricate a bracket that bolts up to one of the 9" bearing retainer studs.

I was in the same boat. I used a clamp and drilled a hole in my housing for the bottom link. Do yourself a favor and run a short hose. This will make the rotors and axles servicable later. You'll thank me......

I'd grind off the powder coating and weld some brackets on. I did and just touched up with some Por-15 chassis black paint. Not perfect, but heck its under the car. I'd care more about making sure the brake lines are secure.

Stopping >> Perfect undercarriage.

Run hard lines on the frame, stop above caliper, then run braided line to calipers.

We drill the top of the axle tube, tap it for a 10 - 32 and use a small clamp. I put a dab of permetex in the hole when I put the screw in and have no leak issues as there is not a lot of fluid on the top of the axle tube in the middle of the tube.

I was in the same boat. I just ran hard line down the left side of the frame, t'd off with flex line to caliper and hard line across the floor to flex line to caliper on driver side. Nothing on the rear end.

Thanks for all the suggestions guys. The funny thing is after I posted this question, I started thinking.....the rear end has a back brace welded on. I could just as easily drill and tap some holes right into the back brace and run it along there. I also like the idea of just running it along the rails and then the floor. I already have the rear together so I don't feel like taking it apart, but I guess if I do decide to run it along the tubes, I will have to take it apart. Thanks again for all the responses.

I have a set of billet clamps I made that clamp on the axle tubes.. I will get you some pics tomorrow..

Here is a pic of the axle tube clamps.

That's trick.....you should make a run of them.

Those are great, I'd have used those if I knew they were available.

You could definitely make money I think selling them. Especially for those into undercarriage jewelry :unibrow:

yeah you have some really inovative and functional designs... you should really look into the parts business, your stuff would sell. do you have a cnc in house or do you have to out source the work.

Please send me a set asap!:yes:

I think I have a couple of sets lying aroud.. Did these a couple of years ago..
I will get some more made if you guys want some??? I need to get pricing!!

Been taking about it for some time now about manufacturing parts.. Even got my second company in place but car building has been keeping me busy!!

Please do....

I worked for Wilwood in the R&D dept for 10 years.. Launching prototypes into production.. My old boss & I work together designing & machining the one one off parts that you see me showing here..

I will save you a set & get you some pricing!

If they will fit a GM 12 bolt axle tube, I am interested in a set.

They will work on a 12 bolt!

put me down for a set

Thanks, PM me and I'll get you $. I'm installing brake lines now so if possible, the sooner the better.
Thanks again.

Great, PM me some info when you get it ready. Thanks!

Can I get a set PLEASE!!!!!

Trick Clamps!
 

Love to have a set too! I have a Moser 12 bolt I just bought and couldn't figure how to attach the hard line with the hose either. Didn't want to weld a clamp on the tubes if I didn't have to. If you're sell'n 'em, I'll buy 'em!

I am also interested. Thanks.

I am getting 10 sets of clamps machined.. When I have them done I will get info for shipping.. 120.00 for a pair!

Any word on the clamps?

I will have parts ready by mid next week! PM info..

Chris...any chance these can be built to fit around a 9" with a back brace. I really like them, but don't think they will work for me as I have a Moser M9 with the back brace.

Here's a couple pics of my setup

Or do you think the ones you have would work if I put it between the back brace and the lower shock mount. Here's a pic of where I'm talking about.

Mike- I don't think their is a good way to get my clamps to work with the back brace rear-end.. I know we have round tube that we can clamp to but don't think it will give you any good plumbing options.. I got a great idea on how we can machine up some brackets that will mount to the back brace as long it is hollow.. or we have these other tabs that we weld to housing..

http://i1015.photobucket.com/albums/...n/P1010062.jpg

Looking @ the rear-end closer.. the clamps might work.. you can rotate clamps so that they are positioned on top of the brace so that you can run brake line to the center.. Measure the tube which should be 3.00 OD..

Just checked the Moser website...it is 3" O.D. The back brace is hollow. Where on the housing would the clamp fit? with mine, there is a bracket on the top for the short arms and on the bottom (you can see in the first pic) I welded on the bracket for the rear sway bar. I would be interested to see what you have in mind though.

You can mount the clamp on the space between the welded shock mount & the end of the brace.. rotate the clamp so that you can plumb on top of the brace instead of the center of the brace like the pic attached.. or fabricate an L shaped bracket that you can drill to the hollow end of the brace..

I hope this pic helps!

Are any of these clamps still availble?
 

I need a couple of these clamps. Are any left?

Yes, we still stock these. Ironically enough, we just sent our last set out a few days ago. We do have more coming, but will probably be a week or two before they are here..
