How do you secure your steel braid brake lines?
I just put chrome Lonestar +2" A-arms on both of my Raptors.
I had to put longer brake lines on to accomodate the A-arms so I went with Steel Braid.
I was wondering how you guys secure your brake lines to your upper A-arm so they do not get tangled up with things or rub against the A-arm surface?
Any ideas or do you just leave them unsecured?

Rob,
I bought a brake line holder from ATV four play, its a billet clamp. I uesd zip ties before. Either way, make a wrap of e-tape around your a-arm and brake line, where the zip tie or the alum. clamp is going to make contact with the A Arms and brake line. Espicially with those pretty chromers! That sounds like a nice set up.

Sandneck:
That is exactly the problem! I used plastic zip ties and they scratched the sh*t out of the chrome.
The way I set it up, the steel brake lines never touched the A-arms, just the plastic zip ties did. And man am I suprised how the chrome scratched. The scratches are fine, but they are obviously there.
I had no idea plastic would scratch the chrome surface so easily!
The FourPlay clamps you spoke of are $35 a pair. Kinda expensive since I have two Raptors to outfit.
Did you use one clamp or two on each A-arm?
Any other ideas out there?

Psyco:
What do you mean you used your "stockies?"
Did you use the black plastic sleeve that slipped over your stock A-arms?
If so, isn't the diameter of your Alba A-arms a lot thicker than your stock A-arms?
Also, what did you do about the small bolt that attaches to the stock A-arms to keep the sleeve from rotating around the A-arm?

Yeah....I'm talking about the stock line holders from the a-arms. They fit great onto the Alba arms. The stock holders just clip onto the arm and haven't rotated ever since I put them on. Probably because the steel lines are more rigid and won't move around as easily as the rubber stock lines. Other A-arms might be thicker, so I can't say if it would work on those or not.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/img]
