Rear-Brakeline Brackets, What am I missing here? Options

[RiqueMar]

Wrapping up a re-check of my rear-brakes, and I can’t seem to make either of these clips ‘fit’ on the suspension arms. Granted, my arms are reinforced, however I feel like I’m missing something. Hoping the world can help, as the search feature brings up photos that I can’t quite see. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bye1.gif)

One more, from a 928, but the same parts:

Thanks everyone! I think these might have been modified in the past, maybe when they were reinforced, because I can’t get the U-shaped clip inside, looks like I have to either cut them to make a bit shorter, or trim off the side.

Post a pic of the soft brake line after you have it through the bracket on the trailing arm and attached to the hard line. The groove in the end of the soft line should be just in the right spot for the spring to slide in.

If not, your hard lines might be wrong.

@SirAndy - Looks like it’s the bracket itself, seems to be short as I can get the clip ‘in’ just not seated all the way…
