After market front hose installation
Hi everyone,
I've just got a set of Classic Tube braided hoses for my car and the front hoses do not have the fitting half way down that allows them to be clipped to the strut bracket. Look at the photo of the stock rubber hoses to see what I mean - the new hoses don't have these.
I wasn't able to find a posting where someone else asked this question before, so I'm wondering what people have done to support the new brake hose half way down.
Thanks

Call it what you will, but I ended up putting a grommet in place to support the hose. Not as good of course but can also be further supported by a decent zip tie.
