Hey guys, I got some extended brake lines on my xj and they are perfect length when I'm flexing the front end out, but when its sitting flat the brake lines hang near the tires. My fix for now are some small bungee cords to hold the lines away from the front tires but I was curious if anyone has had a similar issue and used a clamp and a metal spring or something to that effect to hold the lines away from the tires?
Thanks

 

I ny-tie them loose to the spring so they can move but not catch anything.

 

Youd be surprised how fasr a tie will wear through be sure to put something on to protect it, i think small bungee is good idea just wrap hose in tape and then a few wraps on bungee to hose

 

Been doing the ny-tie method for years on customer rigs and never seen one wear thru. Had a XJ in yesterday that I did this on a few years ago and it's still doing it's job. If you had a few of the rubber coated steel clamps, you can put one on the spring and the other on the hose and bolt them together as long as you still have it loose so the hose can move.

 

What is a ny-tie? Haven't heard of that before.

 

Zip ties. (Nylon)

 

i put a nut-sert into a hole in the unibody and bolted a clamp for the brake line to go through. kinda hard to explain.

 

do not ignore this problem! i just totalled my jeep because i blew a brake line, had no brakes, and rear ended a van. this was because the brake line was worn from the tire rubbing it... i would adress this before driving!!
