The Beast I Drive Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 Zip ties man, or Bailing Wire (my personal fav ) -Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Beast I Drive Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 I would just tie it off to something that it wont rub on. Try it out, if it doesnt look like it will work, cut the zip tie and try another spot -Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3eyedwagon Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 Yeah man. I believe zip ties are the tool for this job. Just tie it to something that keeps it away from moving parts, and tie it tight enough that it won't rub back, and forth inside the tie job you've done. I'd bet this is how even major Baja teams do it. I know it's how I secured the brake lines on my $20,000 four wheeler. If it works; don't fix it!

bratman18 Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 When and if your brake lines fail always remember that your e brake is mechanical and will stop you very well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baccaruda Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 I got some rubber fuel hose, slit it one way and put it over the brake line like a sock, zip tied it "closed".. then used zip ties to rig the lines into position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4x4_Welder Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 I used zip ties on the braided stainless hoses I had on the Hatch. Didn't even leave a mark on them. I think I tied them to the trailing arms in a couple spots. I used one-piece hoses, got rid of the intermediate tube. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
