Securing -AN hose to chassis

[Tinbasherdan]

Anyone got any ideas? im running an -8AN feed and return along my 110 chassis. I have line seperators every 2 foot or so but am struggling to find a way to secure them to the chassis itself. i think ill end up machining some alu blocks that will sit over the brake line and i can then run a tie wrap round it to secure the hose to it

What about p clips

i need them to stand off the chassis 5mm to clear the brake lines, and id like them to secure both lines to stop them rubbing

OEM is always neat. Robbed off scrapers etc

Goodridge, Earls etc already make the aluminium support clamps, singles and doubles. probably won't be cheap though.

another option might be "stauff clamps", they come with spacer plates available too. Used a lot for hydraulics and instrumentation lines.

you could also use the bolted type stauff type, and use screwed rod as a support / standoff from the chassis rail through the bottom plates which would give you clearance for the brake lines.

the red anodized ones are the ones i have to seperate the lines, the issue is they have no way to fix to the chassis uness you put a longer bolt in, and then they would foul the brake line

Sounds like a job for a 3D printer

It just occurred to me that I have a friend with a cnc mill in his garage, I always forget!

-8 is a fraction of an inch

Each dash number is 1/16 inch so -8 is 8 x 1/16 inch = 1/2"

fuel hose?

Fuel, oil, coolant, they’re used for all sorts, mostly in aviation. Sometimes known as aeroquip fittings
