The hole that the rubber brake line at the strut end doesn’t seem to be large enough to support my existing rubber brake line. Also, there looks to be two different support clips. Could someone educate me to the difference and what I should be using to connect my brake lines to a 1975 strut. Attached thumbnail(s)   |
