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.

If you have a 70 as indicated in your avatar you would need the hat shaped clip. SirAndy is correct if you have a later car. The flex line needs to match the clip used. The early trailing arms have a rounds hole in the support bracket and the later cars have a round hole opening to a slot. It is taller. The late clip will not fit on an early car. Cant tell from your picture which you have. I think you picture late flex lines.

Edit: I see you posted a pictures which show you have one early and one late arms. You need the hat shaped clip on the early and the U shape clip on the late and the correct matching lines.

This clip needs to be rotated 90 degrees

Hi @bdstone914 - Pretty sure my arms match, I think you're looking at another photo. I'm headed home now, and I'll try the hat-shaped clip, but this time on the bracket facing the 'front' side of the car.
