Resolved 1G - Rear Brake Line Support with Coilovers

[greddy_1700]

Hey, just wondering what people do to secure their 1g awd rear brake lines after installing coil overs? I have been playing around with trying to get the factory brackets to work and it just doesnt seem to work that well. Any pictures or suggestions would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

I ended up splitting a small piece of silicon vacuum hose, putting it around the brake line and then neatly zip tying it to the back of the coilover body, used two to form an X. Been that way for years and haven't had a problem, would rather have brackets but I have not found any.

*Not a factory line, an upgraded coated SS line & JIC's.

Well just following up, this is what I came up with so far. It looks like it should work, but will update. It is a couple of Roll bar mounts I got on Amazon, and I trimmed the factory brackets and drilled a new hole. Looks clean, hopefully holds up well.

That looks great! Any chance you have a link to the roll bar mounts you used?

Edit: I found a set that looks like the ones you have, but I'm curious which diameter you ordered? 1.75" or 2"?

Yeah those are very similar to what I bought, and I used the 2" mounts. It was a very tight fit, might not work for all coils, but worth a shot.

Thanks for the follow-up! Mounts ordered, I'll definitely be doing this.
