Mounting brake lines on k sports

[LocknessMonster]

Today I finished installing my k sports in my 1g, but was kinda stumped with what to do with the brake lines that connect to the shock body. The old set up had a stud welded to the shock and the bracket bolted right to it, but with these theres nothing to mount it to. Thanks for the help.

I used some pipe insulating foam, a ziptie, and some creativity. I cut a piece about the size of the space between collars and then ziptied the bracket to the shock body with the foam piece between to two. Because the foam almost went all the way around the body, the ziptie doesn't even touch the shock. The bracket sits in the "stock" location on the backside of the body.

Thats a good idea, do you happen to have any pictures?

I can get you some pictures later today. Like in an hour when I decide to bare the cold of my garage. I will warn you they will be crappy cellphone pics.

I finally bore the cold and decided to work on the turd. I just broke my cv shaft at the track last week so I'm in the process of rebuilding everything firewall forward. Don't mind the caliper, its hanging out of the way via ziptie.

This is the pipe insulation stuff. Figured you'd know, but just incase:
Foam

Here is the front of the strut, as if you were looking straight at it from the side of the car:

And here is a picture of the forward most side of the driver side strut:

And here is the backside:

Hope that helps. Sorry for the crappy cell phone pics. But as you can see, the foam is under the bracket(especially on the backside) and then the ziptie holds it all to the strut body. This worked even with a 3 inch drop on the front. I now have it at 2.25 inch drop and I used the same foam and ziptie. It is loose enough, or maybe slick enough, where it can move up and down and around if it needs to.
