Brake line tab on RSR struts
Hi,
I'm installing a pair of RSR struts which don't have a tab for the hard brake line to soft brake line connection welded to the strut tube like the Konis I'm replacing. I did some searching to see what others have done, but wasn't able find any photos. . . So I thought I'd post pics of what I fabbed up this afternoon - Just wanted to make sure I was on the right track. I was planning to either zip tie or hose clamp these brackets I made to the strut tube. I'd love to see what others have done to compare etc.... Thanks, Tom ![]() ![]()

I made a tab similar to yours, and welded it directly to the strut in a location that made plumbing all the lines together convenient...
Don't have any pictures handy

Thanks for all the responses. . . looks like I'm on the right track. I'm not sure if I'll weld on the tabs or just hose clamp them on; looks like either way will work.
Thanks again, Tom
